What? Not even in the same realm. Neymar's header was actually going wide if it doesn't deflect off his hand. He headed it to the right, and his right hand stopped it from following that trajectory and caused it to barely slip inside the post. It was clearly going well wide without his hand. That's not a 50/50. That a 100% handball. Unintentional, so no yellow card, but you can't score with your hand.
As I have said many times. It's not just about the 50/50 penalty. I'd say more or less 75/25, but regardless, even at 50/50, that completely ignores that Pogba was fouled 3 times and not one foul was given. I can see not wanting to change the match by awarding a somewhat debatable penalty... I get that. I even support it to some extent. But to allow the foul that gave Barca possession and started their counter, the type of foul he'd been awarding to Barca players all night is absurd. And then to allow that foul against Pogba on the edge of the area in the first half that would have been prime free kick territory for Pirlo, the type of spot he's almost 50/50 to score from, is also absurd. That was a clear and obvious trip on Pogba, and that was the type of free kick Allegri was hoping for in starting Pirlo.
It's the fact that he awarded free kicks for every tiny bit of contact against Barca players, but somehow Pogba couldn't buy a free kick that bothers me.
And this is where I agree with you 100%. As a fan, it's pretty much irrelevant if I make a big deal out of this. Who cares. I'll be choked about it for a day or two. Just as I was choked about the offside goal by Madrid in 97 for a day or two. And I'll complain a bit about it.
However, I'm glad our team has hardly mentioned it, and has given credit to Barcelona for being the better team on the day. They know, as do we all, that they had their chances and it wasn't the referee that caused Tevez, Vidal, Pogba all to shoot directly at the keeper from the edge of the box multiple times; that it wasn't the referee that caused Pogba to send his free header over a wide open net; that it wasn't the referee that caused Buffon to punch that rebound straight out for a tap-in, and Evra to fail to beat Suarez to the ball to clear the rebound; they know it wasn't the referee that caused Vidal to play far too recklessly for the first 20 minutes of the match. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Barcelona was the superior team. They won. I just would have preferred to see how the game would have ended up without 2-3 poor mistakes from the referee at a crucial point in the match. Even if we still lost. That's the gist of it.
