The head of FIFA’s refereeing department responds to Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon - “it’s impossible to think about where we are, what happened before…”
The Bianconeri goalkeeper was incensed by Michael Oliver’s decision to award a last-minute penalty against Real Madrid, declaring that a more experienced official wouldn’t have given a debatable decision in such a crucial moment.
“You have to make a technical and disciplinary decision in a fraction of a second,” Massimo Busacca responded, speaking to Premium Sport.
“So it’s impossible to think about where we are, what happened before and so on. It’s one of the few jobs in the world where you have to decide in less than a second.
“Yesterday we saw a great save from a goalkeeper [Gigio Donnarumma] who instinctively made a decision, it’s the same for us.
“Clearly if we had 10 minutes available we could take other things into consideration, but I assure you it’s a really difficult job and we have to rely on natural instinct.
“Yesterday Donnarumma launched himself without thinking, and it’s the same for us. Sometimes we have to decide without even seeing, so a great referee has to rely on his experience too.”

If we are going to talk about only the penalty (and we really shouldn't, because Madrid had dozens of calls in their favour), the question is this imo:
did Vazquez go down because of the push? The answer is clearly no. If Vazquez didn't go down because of the contact, the conclusion can only be that he dived. So Real Madrid got a last minute penalty because of a dive.

At the back of my mind, I remember the Dybala penalty that we got against Milan for a close-range handball last season in the dying minutes. It was a 50-50 call similar to the penalty given to Madrid. Let's be honest, ~100% of Juve fans felt this was the right call no matter what minute it was.
The truth is, again, we had a beast match all over the pitch similar to Bayern two years back and made a costly error in the dying minutes. We shouldn't have been in that situation in the first place. We really need to learn and move on.

Exactly. The Milan game came to my mind as well when discussing this.
Either way, I think you'll find most fans are more annoyed by the assumption that Madrid would NEVER have been given that penalty against them in a similar situation.
A ref saying "sometimes we have to decide without even seeing" as a defence of Oliver's decision.
