I don't feel robbed. It is still very hard to swallow that penalty and I'm yet to get a minute of sleep, 22 hours after the match. A more experienced referee wouldn't have whistled a penalty, not because there was no penalty, but for the reasons Buffon described best. But I don't feel robbed by the referee. Robbed by Kroos, Ronaldo and Vasquez, for that great cross, incredible jump and good positioning in the last second and robbing us of extra 30 munutes in an epic match, but not robbed by the ref. Unfortunately, we were designated a young and inexperienced referee.
Not true at all.And this is not just what Buffon described but simply because that penalty wasn't committed!Yes I agree that a more experienced referee evenwouldn't think to whistle that in the last 20 seconds but nevertheless,again that wasn't anything irregular about Benatia's start.We were actually robbed by that Brit piece of shit and not by a "spectacular" Kroos,Ronaldo,Vasquez moves.Not at all.We deserved by no means that 30 minutes cause it wasn't a foul at all.Not to mention Cuadrado's incident in the first game.

How exactly?

Going by Buffon comments then a more experienced ref should feel compassion and not award pen cause its match decider?

If its a pen the its a pen. What does anything else matter.

If the ref didn't give a penalty yesterday, the Real players wouldn't have objected much imo (or at all). This way, by giving it, this ref created so much controversy and perhaps damaged his career. A more experienced ref would have avoided the controversy and protected himself first, and, second, allowed an epic match to go on. Nothing to do with compassion. Much to do with experience.

He would have also noticed how the real madrid players were going down on every occasion to win a penalty and would have booked one or two for simulation

Hmmm, unfortunate...
I do think that if the first leg ended 1:1 or so, Oliver wasn't gonna officiate yesterday's match and we were gonna get another big name, like Cakir in leg 1. An Englishman when there are few quality English officials is designated for a "meaningless" 2nd leg between two big clubs. That's why I believe we were unfortunate.

Not classy, but I prefer to live in a way where I don't feel like the world is against me, feeling sorry for myself.

It was a penalty - maybe soft, but legitimate. It probably wouldn't have gone the other way, but oh well. It's not a conspiracy, so claiming we were robbed is no different to what inter and Napoli do.
What?

You think it wouldn't have been called if it was the other way around, but you're fine with Real still getting it?

How can you be okay with that? That's the very definition of injustice.

I'm sorry. I just don't buy into that anymore. Putting inexperienced refs in big games was one of the ways FIFA used to operate.

I was hoping Madrid would score a goal early after we went 3:0 up. I knew we would stop playing and wait for the ET.
We fucked this up in Turin, we stopped playing and if we say ref fucked us over it was the one in Turin with Dybala stupid yellows and no pen on Cuads.
I agree then pen in Madrid was really doubful, but we cant say ref made complete wrong decision - even after so many videos ppl are not sure if there was a foul.
Getting pen against you in 93 min really hurts but the time shouldnt affect refs decisions.
Proud of the team anyway. Was realy mad at them after the first game but they finally showed some balls. What is not encouraging is that we only play like mens when guys like Licht and Mandzu are on the pitch and we aree not sure if they will be here next year.
