Nahh he's the best ref in England.So sorry for Gigi.
I hope Oliver will soon follow Clattenburg's example and go to the Saudi Arabia and will leave the EPL.

I envision 99% of the people calling that a soft penalty, clamoring for a penalty in the same situation for their team. If that happens to Morata, Chelsea fans would be losing their **** that the ref didn’t call it. Same for Barca, Bayern, Liverpool. I just can’t imagine anyone seeing that play happen in the 92nd minute of a do or die game and go, “nah that’s a good no call”.
He got pushed in the back first. You should be able to see it first time now even with your Barca glasses.Oh 100 percent doesn't make it okay though.
I have to say I've seen the play about 10 times, and don't see a penalty. Would love a another angle on it.
Vazquez never got hit in the chest

Well he deserved what he got. I have all the respect in the world for Gigi, he’s one of the best goalies to grace the sport, but you can’t jump into the refs face and push him multiple times. Easy red.
This same contact is called 99% of the time you mean.

Mandzukic, Chielini, Benatia were doing the same.
I agree with you on the whole.I meant that force of contact is ignored most of the time on corners, spots barely inside the box, when the player is moving away from goal/has their back to goal, etc.
More in general, and because I'm waiting on hold and have time to type:
I'd say that exact situation, hitting a player from behind (even lightly) when that player is receiving the ball and has a wide open net, is called a penalty the vast majority of the time.
I'd also say that type of play is very frequently called a foul outside the box. Defender moving to the ball, check up, attacker lightly contacts him in the back, defender goes down. That almost always results in a free kick for the defensive team.
I'm fine with having a difference in how certain contact is called based on the overall context of the play. There's going to be some jostling on corners and FKs and that's fine. But that's a different situation than denying an almost sure goal.
If you don't think the context should matter, I suppose that you have the right to believe that, but then you should be calling for a penalty on basically every corner or FK near the box.
And the referee did the sensible thing...Buffon was a clear level above them in his physical aggressiveness.

Coming through or jumping over the back of someone isn't a legal play. Benatia pushes Vazquez in the back and wraps his leg around his chest, you can't do that, that's clearly an illegal play. If Manolas did the same thing to Messi you'd be screaming penalty, just like I would be if that happened to Martial.
Then you have no clue about the rules of the game. That's a CLEAR CUT PENALTY. Even with your JuveBarca glasses on.Who is this guy?
Oh, I know I'd be screaming for one... again that's not the point the point is if it was a legit penalty. That i'm not sure about.
Now that's the best post in the whole thread. Thank YouI feel bad for juventus but it was a penalty all day. Sucks the game was decided by a penalty. Juv was waiting for the OT, they stopped playing. The ref was good all day. He let them play. Juv was really aggressive all day and he didn’t call hardly anything on the constant tries by Ronaldo.
Buffon would’ve been looking dumb if they go to OT and something happens because he wasn’t there. He’s all he way on the other side, not the best view.

Must have hurt seeing Juve play that good without your boy.
