TREMOR Barcelona celebrations at the Nou Camp after historic victory over PSG caused an EARTHQUAKE

CELEBRATIONS after Barcelona’s dramatic late surge to defeat PSG in the Champions League caused an EARTHQAKE in the city.
The Spanish side produced perhaps the greatest comeback of all-time to fightback from a 4-0 first-leg defeat.
 
Barca triumphed 6-1 on the night, with three goals in the final seven minutes, to clinch an astonishing 6-1 victory and a 6-5 aggregate win.
However, the sheer joy and jubilation of the Nou Camp that Sergi Roberto’s last-ditch winner produced actually caused a trembling underground.
That’s according to seismologist Jordi Diaz, who claims that the celebrations caused “a tiny earthquake.”
The seismometer, installed at the Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera, about 500 meters from the football stadium, recorded the “the biggest vibration of this type registered until now” by the device, which has been there for five years ago.

The second and third goals for Barca appeared on the seismometer with the amplitude slightly higher than normal, according to Diaz.
Naturally, the atmosphere cooled down after PSG scored, so the fourth and fifth goals by Neymar were barely celebrated.
But when the sixth, and eventual winner, hit the net it was the “the apotheosis”, according to Diaz.
The vibrations generated by the rhythmic movement of the crowd are transmitted as seismic waves.
Diaz measures these in football matches, but also in concerts at the Nou Camp.

Kante’s performances caught the attention of several elite clubs and Chelsea secured his services over the summer in a deal worth £33million. Covering virtually every blade of grass, Kante has maintained his sublime form this term and has been a vital cog in Antonio Conte’s side. The midfielder is not renowned for his goalscoring prowess but registered his third league goal in England to fire Chelsea ahead against Manchester United in the FA Cup. Kante found space outside the box and fired a shot past David De Gea as the Blues took control of the quarter-final clash. And after the strike, Lineker – a Leicester supporter – said on twitter: ‘Bloody hell, if Kante starts scoring goals as well he’ll become the best midfield player ever.’ Kante’s performances caught the attention of several elite clubs and Chelsea secured h
