I got away with penalty charge on Di Maria —Mascherano

JAVIER MASCHERANO cheekily admitted to fouling Angel Di Maria in the penalty box during Barcelona’s historic win over Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentinian defender slid in and collided with Di Maria during the 85th minute when the scoreline was just 3-1.

And after the wild celebrations that took place at the Nou Camp, Mascherano admitted to fouling his fellow international teammate.

Mascherano told The Sun “It’s clear that I did foul Di Maria but I think that’s not the reason why we eliminated PSG.”

PSG boss Unai Emery says him and his side must take responsibility for their embarrassing defeat at the Nou Camp.

Emery said:  “When we analyse it, it is true that we have missed a major opportunity.
