Uefalona? The World Wasn’t Silent When Barcelona Was Robbed

Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli should have blown for a penalty when a shot from Andres Iniesta was stopped by Atletico midfielder Gabi’s hand in his team’s penalty area after 90 minutes.

The ref decided not to give Barcelona the shot from the spot, and ended up handing them a free kick that was wasted by Messi.

Albeit, Iniesta who flicked the ball into Gabi’s hand wasn’t suppose to be on the pitch after he disgracefully stopped the ball with his hand and concede a penalty which Griezmann converted. He should have been sent off by Rizzoli

Just seen Barca’s penalty appeal. Clear penalty. Should feel hard done by. How was it not given – they only had the five referees @UEFA #UCL

Wait… did a UEFA referee just deny Barcelona a clear penalty? He’s getting a horse head in his bed in the morning.

Gabi (Atletico): “Handball in area? Was handball, don’t know if it was inside or outside. Sometimes you get good calls, sometimes bad ones.”

Barcelona appeal for a penalty but the referee says it’s just outside. Replays show it was INSIDE the box.
