I wouldn't call it a penalty in a million years. But Post Ironic is right. Given the pussy standard of today that could have been seen as a penalty. Although he gets the ball first he then ran him over after that. Some referees would see it as one. But only because of the pussiness of today's Football.
Refs all the time are calling fouls now for players who get ball first but completely wipe out the player after. And this one was a pretty clear case of that.
It's idiotic, but at some point there has to be some sort of standardization of refereeing, where we go back to the days where as long as you got ball first, you could pretty much blow-up a player on the follow through, or we have some sort of clarification of what exactly is a foul if the tackler gets the ball first. Because I've seen that called a foul countless times in the last year, especially because of the second leg coming through the player.
Football is such a sissy sport these days.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want that to be a penalty, I think it's a fantastic tackle.
But watch the slow-mo from 20-24 seconds. Neymar doesn't in the slightest trip over the ball, the defenders leg sweeps through and and his knee/thigh takes out both of Neymar's feet as Neymar tries to step over the tackle.

Sergi Guardiola's Barcelona Contract Rescinded After Offensive Tweets
Sergi Guardiola's contract with Barcelona has been rescinded just hours after the club signed the 24-year-old. The Blaugrana discovered a series of tweets insulting both the club and the region of Catalonia.
A career journeyman, Guardiola recently terminated his contract with Alcorcon and was offered a deal by Barcelona B after a successful tryout.
The midfielder, who can also play as a forward, has played for a wide variety of clubs since graduating from Lorca Deportiva's academy in 2010. He moved to Alcorcon after an excellent 2014-15 campaign with Eldense, but he barely saw any playing time with Los Alfareros.
Fans didn't know much about Guardiola and spent most of the afternoon checking out some of his highlights, and some Twitter users discovered the offensive tweets.
While most fans were either outraged by the tweets or laughing at his short spell with the club, some seemed to realise Guardiola sent those tweets a long time ago, and he is now paying dearly for his mistake.
Spanish footballers have landed in hot water for tweeting and making public comments about Barcelona or Real Madrid before. Per Super Deporte (h/t Inside Spanish Football's Heath Chesters), Los Blancos star Isco once said he was an "antimadridista," that he disliked Real and found the club and their fans to be arrogant. Four years later, he donned the iconic white kit himself.
It should be a lesson for young footballers around the world: Everything you post on social media can come back to haunt you.

Bale is the best crosser in the game. Sublime crossing. This guy could be deadly if he played on his favorite side.
Ronaldo still has mad finishing instincts.
Barca's trio are unfair. Not only is each individual playing at a level that is insane, but their chemistry is so good they are easily the best attack probably in history.
Suarez takes very little credit for his work. He is a footballing legend. What an amazing talent. This generation of attackers is better than anything else in the history of football.
