I fancy this going all the way to pens now.

Kind of right... 

[Lineker]

He was never going to miss that.

[Starvinho]

Ronny seals it!

[Colly]

Come on away goal! 

Ronaldo's muscle run is almost as embarrassing as Harry Kane's baby swears. 

[FLiam]

Oh Gigi. 

Did anyone see the penalty incident? I’ve read a few people saying it never was and I notice that Michael Oliver is referee...

Michael Oliver is getting a horses head in his hotel bed tonight. 

[Starvinho]

Italian media fighting with the Spanish media in the press box!

It was a penalty, Benatia has jumped into his back.

[Adam]

Still not even close to being the most dramatic last minute penalty decision of Michael Oliver's career.

[Kaney]

Oops.

Definite penalty. Absolutely daft.

It was a foul, but not as 'sexy' a challenge so as to make it a penalty that couldn't be argued against, if that makes sense. This wasn't someone wiping someone out; many would argue there isn't enough contact to go down and it visually doesn't look like a lot.

Penalty was the correct decision though.

[Gazz]

How shit was Chesney though, only on the pitch for 20 seconds and couldn't keep a clean sheet?

Well it's decided, VAR definitely making its way to the Champions League next year.

Respect to Michael Oliver. Made the right call, and responded to Buffon’s actions appropriately. No sympathy for Buffon, and those applauding Buffon are scum and are just as much the problem. 

Former colleague referees Sunday league and was hospitalised last weekend after a player battered him. What hope do we have if the pro’s are setting that kind of example? 

[Moses Julep]

Given it’s Buffon’s last CL game probably you would think he would have gone full Zidane on Ronaldo  

[MDK]

"A human being can't just 'knock out' a team after such a game with such a dubious scene: Instead of a heart he probably has a trash can. If you don't have the personality you should be in the stands with your wife eating fries, not reffing this game" - Buffon about Micheal Oliver

 

He's not taking it very well.

[DavidMarrio]

I don't get what his problem is though. It was a penalty and you can't react that way. 

That must have been intimidating for Oliver having Buffon screaming in his face and being surrounded by everyone  and he did the right thing.
