Watch it again, he didn't make contact with the GK's leg so no trip. The defender nudged him from behind (red card-able offense) and probably threw Suarez off his stride. But the ref reacted to what he saw: Suarez dragging his leg as if he'd be tripped.
Sorry, I am having such problems with glitchy streams that keep stopping that I have just been looking up highlights on video. Channeling the old ReMad poster who, though he supported the wrong team, used to put up highlights on our threads just after they happened.
There's a voice in Spanish that seems to be piped into the stadium talking about the play where Iniesta felt a muscle problem. Weird. Might've been the BeIn en Español commentator.
Another weak performance. I hope Iniesta’s injury is not too serious but this might in the long run be a blessing in disguise. D.Suarez is playing very well at the moment and should get the chance to show his worth in Iniesta’s absence. Would like to see a midfield of Suarez, Busquets and Rakitic against Atletico.

Tried my best to translate. From the referee's match report... - The match officials arrived at the stadium without the usual police escort. - They were told by the Security Coordinator what to do in the event of a pitch invasion (either single person or of a mass nature). - Roughly 45 minutes before the scheduled kickoff Bartomeu told the officials in a hallway that the plan was to play the match behind closed doors. Security personnel confirmed this a short time later while they were in the changing room. - A previously authorized minute of silence was not held, a decision made by Barca officials. - In the 71st minute while the ball was out of play someone jumped out from the stands onto the pitch but was immediately caught by security and caused no disruption to the match. http://actas.rfef.es/actas/RFEF_CmpActa2?cod_primaria=1000144&CodActa=44378 I do wonder if the Spanish federation can sanction Barca in some way for deciding to play the game behind closed doors at such short notice. I won't be surprised if they hand down some sort of punishment while World Cup qualifiers are grabbing the world's attention.
Well violence has broken out, several hundreds injured by police brutality.... Police has attacked firemen and people! Just like the good old Franco days! If I was Catalan I'd quit the national team. Iniesta, Busquets, Pique stay the ******** home. I hope Spain doesn't qualify for WC. THIS IS A DISGRACE! FASCISTS!

Historically, I don't know what to make of this closed-door match. Under Franco, the Camp Nou was practically the only public place where Catalan identity could be on display and where Catalans could speak their language. This move by the club today went directly in the opposite direction of that history. In the name of what, player safety? Defiance of the RFEF?
