The return match of the Champions League quarter-finals between Madrid's "Real" and Turin's "Juventus" ended with a huge public debate.
In the added time, a penalty kick was awarded to "Juventus", and moments later the Italian team's goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon received a red card for protesting.
Nevertheless, "Juventus" coach M. Allegri does not blame his goalkeeper and fully understands his frustration.
"There was too much confusion and that's what happened. Gigi reacted sharply, but it is understandable.
I don't know if these were Gigi's last Champions League games, but there were three seconds left and we were close to a historic result. It just slipped through our fingers.
It was a human reaction and I think he should have been understood. There were a lot of misunderstandings at that time, and the referee pulled out a red card. I never talk about individual episodes.
The penalty kick... The referee saw it and gave the penalty. There is nothing more to say. We are very regretful. The team played very well, in Turin we also looked good for 60 minutes.
There is no VAR, so we lost. There is nothing else to say. It's UEFA's problem. I have always said that VAR is a very important tool during crucial decisions. But there was no VAR here, and we have to accept that," said M. Allegri.
