TBH in real time I thought it wasn't a penalty but on replay I think it was. After watching the replay, he does push him. Vasquez went down easy and did dive but it was still a pen. He cannoned into him. Stupid campaigner.

VAR not in champions league though? why is that? one of the biggest comps in the world, the biggest in club football. Irrespective of today's pen which I believe it was, why not have it?


corrupt campaigners.

Was a penalty but the Juve defender couldn’t really do anything else, he was desperately trying to avoid the Madrid player scoring easily at the death, ballsy call from the red but the correct decision.

Messi the goat aye? Vs Leganes and Levante maybe.

He falls over a lot at these stages in tournaments for club and country.

Ronaldo would've got a goal this morning forcing Madrid through.
This literally happened. What are tonight's Powerball numbers?

He could've just put pressure on the forward and let Buffon close him down.

No, he's a pretty woeful ref in general, and always bottles decisions for smaller clubs. For big clubs, he's happy to give those sorts of calls.
Bit subjective that. He wouldn’t be on UEFA’s list of CL officials if he was shit. Thought he made the right call and it was a brave one. He’d get mullered even more had he not given it. One where you just can’t win either way really

That's the issue, he's made the right call here, but in other instances he hasn't. We want consistency that's all.
