ok, well this is where we disagree then, I saw no push and I saw the contact with Vazquez happening at the same moment as contact with ball
Make no mistake, I know for sure this won't be given to Juve if the roles were reversed. But I truly believe this was a penalty all day long and we should concentrate on other incidents that affected the two legs rather than the penalty.

Del Piero: 'Buffon was wrong’
By Football Italia staff

Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero doesn’t agree with Gianluigi Buffon’s criticism of Michael Oliver - “I found it hard to understand, honestly”.

The English referee awarded Real Madrid a last-gasp penalty in the Champions League quarter-final last night, knocking the Bianconeri out and possibly condemning Buffon to end his career without lifting that trophy.

After the match the goalkeeper was scathing in his assessment, calling Oliver “an animal” and claiming he has “a trash can in place of a heart”.

“When Gigi spoke about the referee… I found it hard to understand, honestly,” a visibly uncomfortable Del Piero said on Sky.

“I don’t understand why we should refer to the first leg, that’s how football is and you analyse the moment, whether it’s nice or ugly.

“I think in a few days he’ll say different things about the referee than what he said.”

Del Piero and Buffon were teammates with Juventus and Italy for many years, winning the World Cup with the Azzurri in 2006.

If we wouldn't have gotten the same penalty, something is deeply flawed within the system.

After the first leg I wanted him to retire, now I want him to stay.
I think he was leaning towards retirement at the end of the season, but now I'm confident he will play another season, no way he wants to end like that and I think this has motivated him more. Pretty sure the Pole and him will reverse roles next season though, there were rumours of Allegri telling him that the pole would be first choice next season.

Tacconi: 'I’d have punched him!’
By Football Italia staff

Former Juventus goalkeeper Stefano Tacconi launches an extraordinary attack on Michael Oliver - 'if I was Gigi Buffon, I’d have punched his face in…’

Buffon was sent-off in injury time of last night’s win over Real Madrid, having protested a little too vehemently about a penalty awarded by the referee.

Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up to score and knock the Bianconeri out of the Champions League, and one of Gigi’s predecessors in the Juve goal has some harsh words.

“Knowing I was going to stop, I’d have punched his face in,” Tacconi, who played over 200 games for the Old Lady, told RMC Sport.

“It would have been a great end to a wonderful career. You can’t give a penalty like that in the 95th-minute. Psychologically everyone is tense and you can’t give a penalty like that.”

While it may seem as though Tacconi was joking, he also had some extraordinary words on referee designator Pierluigi Collina.

Collina is in bad faith, there was a referee who was corruptible, just as he was against Juventus in Perugia. He’s in bad faith and you have to change the referee designator every two or three years.

“When Roma won all the Italian teams congratulated them, when Juve lose everyone is against them and I’m disappointed by that.”

The comments from Buff were obviously bad, but right at the same time. Bad in a diplomatic way, but ffs, it was daylight robbery.

DP is "right" about we should not be bringing incidesnts from other games... but come on.... right now is pretty clear that referees are being biased towards madrid... bribe or no bribe....its clear to be seen that theres a clear tendency to make calls in their favour when shit gets real.

Del Piero is taking the diplomatic way, but there is obviously more behind this to say we should not cry in short words.

How much more time we need to play the gentlemen roles and the good guy role? I think everyone here is fucking dead tired of getting red cards against real madrid. Lets stop pretending for a second that everything is fine and "this is football".
