Barcelona fans react to Arda Turan display on Twitter following miraculous comeback against PSG
Barcelona needed to score at least four goals at the Camp Nou to stand any chance of knocking PSG out of the Champions League Last 16 after losing the first-leg 4-0 in Paris.
For an hour it looked like Barcelona were about to pull off an upset. 3-0 up with half-an-hour left to get a fourth that would have levelled the tie. Then Edison Cavani scored in what looked to have ended the tie. Barca now required an additional three goals. It looked impossible but that is exactly what Barca pulled off in an absurd comeback.

A lot of fans were quite disappointed that Turan did not start ahead of Rafinha.
Enrique would argue if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, Rafinha has played an important role in his 3-4-3 setup following the PSG defat in Paris.
Some supporters were however, starting to throw the towel in and many on social media called for Turan to be brought on.
Luis Enrique is an idiot for Starting Rafinha over Arda, this man has thrown away both games vs PSG smh cant wait for his exit https://t.co/7q361FOseO

Well that backfired
With Cavani’s goal and the sub Arda for Iniesta, the chance of comeback is aproximately 0%.

Turan almost scored soon after his introduction, his shot was saved off the line.
