Apparently Spanish and Italian journos fought in the press box over the pen with cops being called in.

Even now there’s discussion on here if it should have stood so definitely not a clear goal, but when I saw the ball coming off Milner I thought it was not offside.
We were lucky in the first tie that Salah wasn’t given but Sane’s was, although we definitely deserved to win, and deserved to go through over two legs.
It was also a clear scoring opportunity. Lucas would have been 1 vs 1 with Buffon if not for Benatia stupid foul. Actually Benatia is lucky to escape a red card as well.
Man he hits the man before the ball, he pushes him down from the back before swinging the leg, and the ball comes off lucas chest. Doesn't matter one zilch that he touches the ball
Zidane headbutt on Materazzi not a red card either then?
This. They are a nothing team playing destructive football. No idea how Jose managed to feck that up.
Didn't Sevilla hit the post and had 2 more good chances from what I saw?
Joe hart went head to head with Oliver, screaming into his face, oliver did nothing. Yet he gives a pen against a team that’s just fought its way back from being 3 nil down, and yet doesn’t allow for the fact it’s the guys last season and that he has just taken away his last chance to win the cl as the reason he’s so upset? Theres the letter of law and the spirit of the law. And Oliver only shows his balls when it suits him. Booking Ronald for taking his shirt off seemed strange seeing as he had no problem with ronaldo diving at the slightest contact. People often ask why players get away with cheating, Oliver is the reason. Letting some players away with it for too often.
They stole his match plan and were better at it.
What's this meant to show? Given the angle his foot could be a yard away
in all honesty, with my judgement record atm - it could be anything, might be two penalties for all I'm getting right just now
That doesn’t prove anything as it doesn’t reflect how close the ball is to them or if either are touching them. All it shows is what a monumentally stupid challenge that is to make in the box in the last minute of an important game.
Are you talking for real ? Oliver was idiot when he didn't send off Hart, but all you said should mean feck all for a ref when he's applying the rules.
Liverpool are going to win this thing, aren't they?? Stevie Me is going to have to use a finger on his other hand 
Yep. Terrible defending from Juve in a crucial part of the game. Oliver got both decisions correct.
You would think Madrids luck will eventually run out.
And if they get Liverpool next can see their attackers doing damage against this Madrid defence.

The fact it's his last game has nothing to do with it. It's either a sending off offence or it's not.
Disgusting ref in our game. Can't believe noone got injured ...

Yes. It is a rule. Clear red for buffon. But you should get yellow for waving with arms on every decision and telling ref that he should book a player. Real players did that 20 times today. Did they get any yellow card for that?
He was lucky to still be on the pitch to make that final foul.
Is that not a high foot as well as a stonewall penalty? Nearly kicking his head off there.
It's really disappointing to win with a penalty in the last second.The match needed the extra time.
I think it was clear, but it is not the same to award a penalty in the 30th minute, than in the 92nd.He had to be really really sure with his decision.
If I were on the other side I would be pissed

Juventus should have pushed for the 4th goal. Attack is the best form of defense when you know all the opposition team needs is just a goal which could come any moment until the end to knock them out after such a good performance.

Never a penalty.
And you really need a very good reason to give a penalty in the last seconds of such a game. And yes, time and place make a difference.
It is obvious that this referee is not good enough for such big occasions. Unfortunately, they had to send someone from England because that's how those things work. But there are no good referees from England. (As there are zero top managers from England ... sorry, that's the truth).

Had to watch that over and over but it's a definite pen in my books.
Reason being that he puts two hands on Vazquez's back to give him the slightest of shoves and stops him from taking it cleanly. Nowhere near enough force to actually knock him over (the Spanish pansy) but enough to give him the advantage to win it with his boot.

They'll get Roma next and I guarantee they'll go through on dodgy circumstances again. Dzeko red card or something similar
Benatia was there quickly enough to get a block in without going through the player. Rash on his part .Perhaps a slightly soft pen. But not a bad call. Tough to see the match end like that
He doesn't even ask him if he wanted a good ol reacharound
That was association football at its most entertaining. Very unlucky Juventus but it's not even up for debate, stonewall penalty. Just because it happened in the last minute of injury time in a thrilling game in favour of a side widely deemed as the bad guys doesn't make it less of a penalty. And what a penalty it was!
Buffon deservedly sent off too. Felt Oliver had an excellent game.

Such a poor ending to a great game.
For me, the penalty and red card decision were both right decisions. Even though its technically penalty, many referees avoid giving penalty in such situations especially considering its 92' in a CL quarters.
Juventus were immense, especially in their mental part of the game. However, I felt they were not doing enough from around 75' mark. Some of their players were very tired, and still they dint make the change. Allegri's plan must be to take the game to extra time and then make 1/2 changes and also make a change for penalty. Their approach after 75' is somewhat questionable.

Yes, that is an amazing still. Gives a clear picture of depth. It also clearly shows benatia hitting lucas
At least you're honest!They hit the post once. Anything else were shots from distance that never had a chance of going in. We really weren’t troubled.
They were in need of two more goals ffs. I really don’t see how anyone could call this close. We controlled them for about 160 minutes of the tie.
Time and place makes no difference, you don’t get to not give something because it ruins some sort of story
You do need a good reason, it's called a foul. It's why penalties are given in the other 89 minutes of the game too.
Bizarre logic. You can't give pens against a team that's fought back from 3 down?? Really?? And you can't send someone off in their last season??
It's a bloody good job decent refs don't get into sentimental twaddle like that when making decisions.
And what the feck is spirit of the law?
No penalty. Real Madrid gets free pass. They do not deserve to go to the semis. I feel for Juve fans, they robbed them in broad daylight.
