It is a penalty. However hard to actually give it at that point in the game, the ref does the right thing by following the rulebook here. The red card on Buffon however...

Tonight is the first time since 2003 that I'm convinced Juve will win the CL in my lifetime. In 2015 and 2017 we made the final and I was less certain that we will win the CL than I am right now.

penalty or not that was the risk we were taking by playing for ET with 30 mins left. $#@! can happen when the opposition attacks more and none of this is on our players who played brilliantly but simply ran out of steam . we just needed fresh legs to either kill it in the 90 or at least hold more of the ball and put the pressure on Madrid instead of the other way round. both teams just needed one goal to go through. you can disagree all you want, we all want to win the trophy and that lesson vs Bayern 2 years ago is still imprinted in memory.
Just give allegri a superior squad we will win it even against 12 men

“We deserved at least to go to extra time, as we had two substitutes left and they could give an important push in that extra half-hour with Real Madrid tiring.

“Either I had to make changes on the hour mark and go hell for leather, or I wait until extra time and have enough time to get the situation sorted out. We weren’t even really at risk late on in the game.
Yes we were, the whole Real Madrid team was in the final third. Maybe you could've made ONE sub in final minutes to slow down the game?

I don't like these "Disgrace" and "Ref decided the game" comments. But I can understand the frustration from the team after such an incredible effort.

That's not a penalty you call 30 seconds before the end of the game, you are just looking for trouble
Unfortunately we got a young guy tonight. In the Group stages this is a penalty 10/10, but a more experienced referee would not have called it tonight, even if he thought it's a penalty. This kid was looking for trouble and will get trouble, especially with Buffon's red. Italians will never let him officiate their games.

Despite the result being shit. This is one of the greatest Juventus performances in years.

Allegri and a couple of world class players (midfielders) and we'll win CL within a season or two.

Collina would.

Agnelli: 'UEFA penalise Italian clubs'
Football Italia

Juventus President Andrea Agnelli accused UEFA designator Pierluigi Collina of “vanity” and “scientifically" damaging Italian clubs in Europe.

The Bianconeri won 3-1 in Madrid, but went out of the Champions League quarter-finals 4-3 on aggregate to a last-gasp Cristiano Ronaldo penalty.

While at first it might look like a stonewall penalty, from the camera behind the goal, it’s visible that Medhi Benatia got the ball.

“We must stay calm and analyse the situation. I see a series of countries that implemented VAR and I saw incidents that went against Italian clubs recently, such as the foul on Cuadrado, Milan at Arsenal and Juve tonight, proving we absolutely need VAR in the Champions League,” Agnelli told Mediaset Premium.

“This isn’t about one or two points, but rather going forward in a massive tournament that brings so much money and prestige, we can’t allow these incidents to occur.

“For some reason, the vanity of the refereeing designator is trying to scientifically prove he is unbiased and keeps assigning referees who are against Italian clubs.”

He was referring to Pierluigi Collina, an Italian former referee, who is in charge of assigning officials to individual games.

“It’s not Juve, but Roma had penalties denied against Barcelona, Milan went out of the Europa League with Arsenal, us tonight. If it’s a technical problem because UEFA don’t have good enough referees, we can offer to help train them.

“When we’re in the knockout rounds of the tournament, we need to train the referees up quickly, put good people in charge and help them to bring in VAR.

“A goal-line official behind the line isn’t the same thing as an official in front of a video replay. If UEFA are not ready, then they need to train it rapidly, just as Serie A did, plus in Germany, Portugal and elsewhere.”

The Italian Federation and its Coverciano centre will train the referees on VAR technology protocol going into the 2018 World Cup and Agnelli suggested they do the same for European officials.

“Players make mistakes, so do referees, but this official completely lost control of the situation. A referee in Madrid for the quarter-final must have seen the first leg, realise the Dybala red card was excessive and understand the various situations.

“The referee tonight was in total chaos. It’s a pity, the performance of the boys remains, we confirmed – as did PSG last season and Roma last night – proved you can come back from 3-0 down to turn things around.

“Incidents happen, the referee didn’t understand the moment at all. The most important thing is we have the technology, it exists and is in use, so we have to bring it into the Champions League.

“The referee tonight, when he sees it back, will be the most disappointed person here to realise what happened.

“At this point, we want to wish Roma and Lazio the best of luck, because it’s important for Italian clubs to go as far as possible.”
