Having his hands on him =/= holding
This is why video evidence > photographic.

Guess you didn't watch the video evidence then, because Puyol was doing everything to bring him down.

This does not matter. Nesta was holding - this is a foul. Very very very simple. Ref should always give penalty for this foul.

Same as Thimmy, I woke up this morning and remembered that this game would have been finished. I predicted that Barca would win 2-1 or 3-1, and that controversial (aka incorrect) calls would be made against Milan.

Surprise surprise, I log into this forum and see a few threads about outrageous calls. Just like Thimmy, my heart didn't skip a beat and my eyes didn't blink out of sync.

It's just become downright predictable that Barca gets dubious calls when shit genuinely gets tough. For the past 5 or 6 years, it's always Barca justifying this, explaining that, reasoning their way through this, arguing their way through that. It has NEVER been the opposite case. Never has Madrid, Inter, Chelsea, Arsenal and now Milan had to constantly justify incorrect calls going their way. Never has one particular team in the part half decade consistently had dubious calls go in their favour. You don't hear people talk about Arsenal and UEFA conspiracies do you? You don't listen to rumours about Milan cosying up with UEFA do you? You don't discuss about Chelsea and referee bribery do you? You don't see people talking about Inter cheating in the CL do you? It's always Barca.

If incorrect calls must occur due to legitimate referee errors, then Barca should get 50% of the wrong calls going against them. This is basic probability. But this is never the case, and it's not due to Barca fans taking a higher moral ground and not complaining. Human beings are still human beings. When shit blatantly doesn't go your way, you complain and vent your anger, unless, of course, the end result is still extremely beneficial for you. Club affiliations don't change human nature. In fact, Jiopsi's "Scandal in La Liga Part 243434" threads are just some examples. There are more.

People, in general, can handle defeats when they are comprehensively defeated. They might be angry and frustrated, but at least they know their being unreasonable and normal when their channeling their distress. But people cannot take dubious losses well. The questions of "what ifs", and 'what would have happened if" start to arise. This makes it exceptionally hard to gain closure. England NT fans can attest to that after Lampard's disallowed goal. They may have lost the overall game, but going into the locker room with a score of 2-2 changes the dynamics of the game completely. Sadly, FIFA and UEFA's incompetence couldn't let this happen.

Personally, I would rather lose the CL than win due to unfair circumstances.

Lastly, congratulations to Barca for playing a great game, kudos to Milan for giving a valiant effort, and two thumbs down for the ref for destroying the game.

Both teams had three shots on goal. Not exactly goals scoring galore from Barca.

I have seen Mou's Inter when they won the CL ,on every corner Walter Samuel resorted to shirt pulling and nothing was awarded.And basically what sinatra said.

That's in the box , and according to the rules it's a penalty.

Penalties all day long and it doesn't even need explaining.

exactly, the match was just getting really interesting, then after that and the third goal i stopped watching. the conversation i had with my friend was more competitive than that game had become.

like i said, i dont care if it's in the rulebook.. it's just not something given these days.. now they will have to give it every time.

And third goal was of a lucky deflection.Barca dint play really well at all and i have to say Milan dint take advantage of that to be really honest despite all the dubious decisions given by the Ref.

Plus in game like this ,it was really poor poor defending on Milan's part to concede a penalty like the first one.The whole fault was of mexes and then Antonini with his terrible control in the box.
