Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo insists it was a penalty against Juventus last night – “I don’t know why they’re complaining”.
The Bianconeri had levelled the tie after a 3-0 defeat in the first leg, and the match at the Bernabeu seemed to be heading for extra-time.
However, English referee Michael Oliver decided that Medhi Benatia had fouled Lucas Vazquez in the last minute, with Ronaldo converting the penalty after a furious Gianluigi Buffon was sent off.

However, English referee Michael Oliver decided that Medhi Benatia had fouled Lucas Vazquez in the last minute, with Ronaldo converting the penalty after a furious Gianluigi Buffon was sent off.
“I don't understand why they’re complaining,” Ronaldo shrugged, speaking in the mixed zone after the match.
“Lucas was tackled from behind and if they don't give him the penalty, it's a goal.
“We have suffered, but it helps us to learn.
"In football, nothing is given away, you have to fight until the end. Madrid could've scored more goals, but Juve and Buffon were good.”
