If United tried that penalty, Rooney would pass to Martial, who'd then pass it to Carrick, then on to Smalling and back to De Gea.

I was watching the game live with my old man yesterday when that happened and we were both just taken aback by the audacity of that play. Amazing that players with that talent want to play for each other, unselfishly and get the results they do.
Two things with that penalty. First, it's hard to tell from the angles shown but it seemed like there was an invasion of the box. In one angle it seemed like Suarez went first, in another it seemed like a Celta defender went first. Either way, when there is an invasion of the box prior to the ball being kicked then the play needs to be whistled down and the shot re-taken. Happens often and rarely ever whistled. The second thing, according to Neymar that was a play intended for him as him & Messi had practiced that a few days earlier.
Still, great to see the MSN playing so well together.
