The Reaction To Barca's Winning Goal As Seen In The TV Broadcast Control Room

One of the most enigmatic jobs in football is the position of power that is held by the TV broadcast director for live matches.

We rarely hear about who these guys are, or what they do, but we know that the reason that we're watching a certain replay or looking at a fan in the stadium is down to one man directing his staff where to go at what to do at all times.

You'll hear commentators criticise the directors in different countries, and you'll notice different trends like Spanish commentators absolutely loving compilations of players making facial expressions on the pitch, or French directors being obsessed with slow-mo clips of players doing that weird thing with their lips, but last night as Barca complete the most ridiculous of comebacks we got a peek as to what exactly is going on.

And it's madness.

A clip has surfaced that shows us what happened exactly as Sergi Roberto poked the ball past Kevin Trapp, and it looks like a truly hectic job in these kinds of moments.

You'd need to be pumped full of caffeine for a job like that. A crazy pace to things when a late winner changes everything.

You've got the team celebrating, Leo Messi jumping into the fans, Luis Enrique going apeshit on the sideline, and the dejection on the faces of the PSG players, and only one camera can be used at a time.

Interesting to get a look at how it all works.
