"FC Juventus" team was just a little short of a miracle. Before the Champions League quarterfinals against "Real Madrid," the Italians, who had a three-goal deficit, ruled at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium. "Juventus" scored three times, equalizing the overall result (3:3), but the visitors' hopes were shattered by referee Michael Oliver, who awarded a questionable penalty kick at the end of the match. Soon after, the Englishman saw the emotional "Juventus" goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who poured out his frustration after the match: "A high-level referee will not destroy the dreams of a team that has given everything on the field. He wanted to become the main character of the match. A man cannot officiate anymore after such a questionable incident, unless he has a box instead of a heart." The 40-year-old Italian played his 117th and most likely last match in the Champions League and was sent off the field for the first time in his career in the tournament. "If you lack personality traits, you should sit in the stands and eat snacks with your family. This referee lacks the courage or personality to work at this level. At that moment, I could have not said a word to Oliver, but he had to understand the level of catastrophe he caused," the legend said.
