Its harder to go over and get it back down in time, make it as hard as possible!
They already had 4 in the wall, I’m not sure you’d want to sacrifice half your outfield team in the wall while defending a set piece against Barca.

Also it was 35 yards out it’s not like it was an easy opportunity.

I don’t think it is harder to go over and back down as it is to get that much curl and still go top corner.
