You're missing one. Vertonghen should have been sent off for the penalty incident as it would have been a second yellow, not to mention he should have been given a second yellow for 3-4 other fouls.
We also had Higgy called wrongly offside in the first leg when clear through on goal.
I actually thought the refs did fine. A few mistakes both ways, the missed call on Costa penalty and Vertonghen sending off and the Barzagli pseudo-stamp the big ones. Everything else was close enough to not really be egregious.

The Barzagli one I don't agree with, there's more chance of Mother Teresa deliberately stamping on someone. They got their legs tangled and eventually it led to Barza standing on his leg. If you watch the video Son actually flicks his leg out at him when he initially hits the ground, and I don't think Barza is even looking at Son at any point until he realises he has hurt him.
Might look bad and be painful but players also don't defy gravity.

Poch's a micro-manager obsessed with the principles of marginal gains. He's also still not fully articulate in English.
This is more a critique of his own club. Not a dig at Juve. He's highlighting that the really big clubs (Utd, Barca, Real, Bayern, Juve) have a certain approach and attitude. And that maybe we can be learning from that. You can tell by his tone and body language that that's his angle here. He sees an opportunity for improvement, not any injustice.
Given that this man openly admits to there being a difference between 'trickery' and 'cheating' (when asked about diving) and who hates VAR with a passion, you can be certain that he's a person who is quite happy to exploit every possible advantage. He's also not stupid, and will be extremely aware that the media will put their own spin on this - and if that placates the other set of Spurs fans who want to find injustice, then they're sated too.
P.S. @Monty. Apologies about before. Misunderstanding. We're cool.

Ok after watching this, i dont see anything wrong in what he said. He is not moaning about us putting pressure on refs because every big club does in honesty. He wants Tottenham to have the same kind of hunger and passion to win. The comment about Agnelli being in the tunnel is to imply how closely-knit we are connected as a group from the management to the players and perhaps he wants to see that in Spurs if they are to make that step up to becoming a top club.
What he is doing is cute. He is using our past reputation and history of scandal (particularly with UK viewers who know next to nothing about Italian "scandals" other than final sentencing) to garner support for the same "mysterious forces" that started things like Calciopoli, without directly accusing it of being any kind of fixing. It's the old "big institution", "UEFA favourite" talk that clubs of smaller history use, it's just that Juventus are a great sounding board because of what I stated above.
So in short, fuck him. Lazy, excuse-finding. Try learning how to get a back four standing in a line maybe.

My bad thought it was the same video, go to 22 minutes and he talks about having 2 penalties because of handball which were definitely not penalties so he can't complain and as I pointed out before they got the most important decision of the match go their way early on
Penalty incident happened on 17 and Vertonghen was booked on 29 minutes so that's not true he should have been off unless i'm missing something else?
Son should have been sent off for kicking towards Barza's genital area.
