It’s not an excuse to say that Real Madrid would have won far fewer CLs with more equitable refereeing decisions. You could call it an excuse but it’s a simple fact.
Also, a bad refereeing decision in a league game is not nearly as disastrous as in the CL, as you have 37 other games to make up for it.

Are there? I'd be willing to change my mind if anyone knows of any.
I give credit to Real Madrid as they have had quality and nasty players, winners, and you cannot win three in a row without those things. But I'd also argue that you'd struggle to win even one if you suffered a big decision in a knock-out game.
I also agree with the sentiment that you can even things over a season but in two legs or a final it's far more decisive. I don't think there's anything stupid about that, it's basic common sense. If you take the Benatia foul in the last minute as an example, how can that be as decisive as conceding a penalty in round 14 of Serie A?
I'm not really interested in the Inter/FIF argument, Real Madrid are not a team we have decades of animosity and conspiracy theories against. It's something strange that many people outside of Tuz have pointed out. They could all be jealous and bitter, but I doubt it. There is something to be said for big teams getting decisions in leagues. I saw it with my own eyes for years with Man Utd because of the way they played, the characters they had and the pressure they put officials under, and you could make arguments against other massive teams, including our own. Perhaps it's just common sense and human nature. So it's not unreasonable to suggest that the 13-time winners and pioneers of this competition hold a little more sway than your average team. Certainly more than a little club from Bergamo.

Capello:It’s disappointing, because he was not last man and the player was going wide anyway. A yellow card is fine, but giving a red card for that is inexplicable. You are ruining the game like that,” Capello told Sky Sport Italia.
“I am starting to get doubts, as yesterday Lazio had a penalty not given against Bayern Munich as well.
“However, Atalanta are still putting in a very strong performance and are continuing to move the ball well.”
