He had no choice because it was absolutely the right decision. What he did in the past doesn't matter.
So you'd prefer he got more decisions wrong?
Oliver's lack of punishment for the hand waving etc is not limited to him or this game. It's a rot but it's not all his fault.
If I had a choice of playing Real over two legs or in a one off game, I think I’d take the two legs.
They’d rise to the occasion and beat us in a final.

So collision is a foul if naturally a dive isn't followed thereafter?
how was this even a talking point
what a wild fecking tackle that is . right to vazquez' chest. The only wonder for me is how the heck didnt Benatia get a red card aswel
I'm also not sure how a player running full pelt into the back of another won't send them down.
I think some peoples dislike of RM/Oliver/English refs in general(delete as appropriate) has really clouded their judgement here
So you're advocating referees officiate inconsistently?
I guess we watched the other matches and saw what can happen. The Bayern team did not shine but played a very intelligent match in which they never really got in danger but did not risk much either.
What I did not like was that the Sevilla players tried to kill ours.
Was that a full pelt run or just an ordinary foul?
Juve playing for extra time instead of pushing on and looking for the 4th should be discussed. They had Real on the rack, nervous at the back, no conviction in midfield but backed off and invited Real forward. As bad as they were that is asking for trouble against that level of individual quality. Should have gone all in for the win in normal time.
Croatian. Lets be realistic, on italian tv it is not pen for sure
It's both a penalty and not a penalty.
I am trying to console myself for our loss against them considering their recent Bayern and Barca games. But still, it was our home game which made it unbearable.
Thank you. I saw Sevilla hitting the post and I'm not sure about those 2 chances I mentioned cause I watched sporadically. I recall Bayern player blocking one close shot, Kimich was it.
I mean he was sprinting back, if Vazquez wasn't prepared it would send him down. I'm not sure how it could be a dive.
I think the term "spirit of the law" should be read as "making decisions that I'm more in favour of but possibly not the correct ones"
I just have this feeling that Liverpool are gonna win the thing.
I don’t disagree on the broad point, Barca especially have had some mind boggling reffing performances. I thought Oliver was alright tonight though.
There was an interview posted in here with the ref in that Barca v Chelsea game. It was interesting, he is pretty much haunted by that game.
Meanwhile.
Look at the space Vasquez got there. This truely is Juventus' own fault IMO.
Is the cat dead or alive?
Agreed. Why they sat off is beyond me. One more goal and Real would need two. Bizarre management.
It shows the obvious contact from the leg. Obviously, the angle and the fact that it's a photo doesn't show he didn't touch the ball, but you'd clearly see that on a replay.
Looked like they were playing for penalties. Should have kept going. Had Madrid on the ropes.
I don't think it's a dive I responded to a strange post about a collision.
Agreed. Buffon should have turned that anger on his defenders.
Schrödinger's penalty?
Oh yeah, I was agreeing with you!
You never can shut down a team totally. There always will be chances. But it never really felt that they are able to shoot a goal. If you saw that two chances - that was about it for 90 minutes. Sevilla had 10 shots - none on target.

This! A clear push, then a jumping karate kick with a foot nearly as high as Vasquez' face. It's a yellow and a red all in the space of a few seconds.
Absolute horror show from Benatia.
Juventus shouldn't have even been in a position in which Vazquez is alone on goal. And it was a stupid penalty to give.
They scored after 3 crosses. They should do it more. It was obvious that mandzukic and higuain are better than real defenders in the air.
That wouldn't be given in the opposite box and I think we all know that.
pen all day long and red card for Buffon well deserved too
Refs been verbally abused and player has made physical contact. Red card all day long doesn't matter who it is or how bloody upset they are.
Cool
That was 2 statements!
