What a shame at that ending, I would have loved for it to go to extra time. Buffon lost his cool, but surely berating the ref is a yellow and not a straight red card?

has sandro done a thing all cl?  every game ive seen he is completely anonymous...nowhere near 30m let alone 60m+

Looks very average in Europe but some fans will tell you the club should have spent £80m on him.

Buffon probably said something wrong, his aggression led to the red card.

Not sure it was a penalty, but Ronaldo still has his class.

Liverpool surely won't be scared of these after this performance. 

Can’t see Liverpool beating Madrid

Spanish teams always get help absolutely despise Real and Barca. 

Of course he lost his cool and so would any of with any dignity and pride......we as Chels supporters should know all about it. That was not a pen....no way it was, but as always another eng ref showing his worth.....and of course yet another life-line for rm by the refs.

I think they would have struggled big time against Juve. 

Another thing Michael Oliver probably got wrong is that if he judged the defender to have denied a goalscoring opportunity he should get a yellow right?

He really is a poor quality ref who takes himself too seriously, all you have to do is insult him and he loses all perspective on whatever just happened.

If that was us, I would've wanted a pen tbh. I thought he got it right. 

Certainly not stone wall, but real constantly get the big decisions in the champions league.

I thought it was a pen too but only saw the replay once, the defender wrapped his leg around Vasquez and hit him in the midrift, the crucial point though is I'm not sure if he touched the ball first.

Not a pen for me.....you have the right to fight for the ball and he did.......but yeah rm like barca get the good stuff.....the sh*t stinks and has been so for a long time.

Soft penalty that we would never get.

the semi-finals will be interesting - it's big boys stuff now and you'd expect Real and Bayern to lift their game significantly. Roma and Liverpool? They're probably a little surprised to be there - whether they can repeat their best of the Q-finals is hard to predict.

You have to suspect UEFA would like a Madrid-Bayern final. I wonder if they'll be kept apart in the draw. 

I think that was a penalty tbh, come straight in the back of him with unnecessary force denying a goal scoring opportunity. 

Makes me think of Ballack/Ovrebo and what might have been.

Isn't it odd that the UEFA charges against Liverpool regarding the attack on the Man City bus won't be dealt with until after the final? - Seems a long time to leave it.

That's a piss take. They should be playing behind close doors in the next round. Only fair punishment imo.

Watched numerous replays and still don't see much contact for the pen...Vazquez looks to be falling very early...what a horrible way to lose regardless

Of the four teams left, anyone but Liverpool rule applies

First of all, it's a penalty. The guy's about to score a goal and the defender does what he has to do. Second of all, I think that decision might be the making of Michael Oliver. Too often refs are scared of making the big calls. That was a massive call and Michael Oliver made it, and then he sent off Buffon, which was also correct, but no easy task all the same. Third of all, I like Allegri. I don't like Conte much but I like Allegri.

IT would be a big call if it was at Turin, at the Bernebeu not so much.

Morata has fallen over like that all season and not even won us a free kick..

It was a particularly classy penalty

PetitionAllow Premier League and Championship football clubs to introduce safe standing

Safe Standing offers a much safer alternative to fans who wish to stand, rather than sit at football matches. After the highly successful introduction to rail seating at Celtic Park, as well as numerous Bundesliga clubs, many football fans feel that laws preventing standing areas should be relaxed.
