He let his teammates down. He should have kept his composure, not got himself sent off and done his utmost to save the penalty.
Poor effort, even for you
Juventus President Andrea Agnelli demanded VAR technology in the tournament, but Chiellini thinks the situation is beyond that.
“It wasn’t an issue of VAR, because the referee still needs to have courage and a conscience. The referee must try to be less of a protagonist and give only clear-cut decisions.
“You could tell at the time it wasn’t a penalty, but seeing the footage back it’s just laughable. We must remember that we beat Real Madrid 3-0 on their own turf and only a crazy person would’ve believed that going in.

Gigi Buffon respects opponents.
Gigi Buffon stood with Irishmen and congratulated them warmly after they had fairly vanquished his men.
Tonight, the dark, shadowy forces within association football conspired, and that is the only word that can be used - conspired - to pervert the course of justice against him and his team.
Ireland knows what it is like to be the victim of such injustice.
Ireland stands with the hero, Gigi Buffon.

He should have pulled his teammates off the pitch and refused to allow Oliver put a taint of legitimacy on it.

Not since Octavian sold out Cicero to Mark Anthony, has such an injustice been done to the Republic.

Anyone who genuinely believes justice wasn’t done tonight doesn’t know the rules of the game.
There was no difference between Ronaldo taking off his shirt and what Buffon did. The ref had zero backbone. He panicked.

Is this the fellow that was under investigation by Italian prosecutors for Mafia links and got suspended from soccer a few months back for selling tickets to hooligans?
Ronaldo hit some penalty in fairness. He was delighted with it. A roguish celebration, gas auld chap.

Michael Owen should have gone for that angle.
We all saw once and for all who Real Madrid’s most important player is anyway. Sergio will be back for the semi unfortunately and bring them victory again
