The second half of that game was horrible, it seemed like it was some type of stoppage every 2 minutes. Stop, go, stop, go, stop, go, stop...

Juve got so many decisions going their way in the final.

Lichtsteiner unintentionally handles the ball while defending, no penalty. Neymar unintentionally handles the ball while scoring, disallowed goal. Vidal going absolutely berserk the first half hour was beyond ridiculous as well :lol:

I thought the rules differentiated between defensive handballs and offensive handballs, but to my surprise they don't. So by the rules of the game, because Neymar didn't intentionally handle the ball, the goal should stand. But it's the rule that needs changing, and the quicker the better.

Vidal though... basically deserved a yellow for each of his first two fouls.

Apparently, Xavi criticized Neymar hard for that trick against Bilbao, and said that Athletic players reaction was normal

Wtf is wrong with Barça players and Coaches? Ok its their opinion, but why state that on the media? Even RM players backup themselves all the time, did anyone there criticized CR7 after he punched and kicked everybody? Or after he was angry about Arbeloa goal, what Arbeloa did? Defended him

Last week Xavi also said that Neymar will be best in world. He clearly rates him as a player.

Xavi over reacted in that situation towards Neymar.

Neymar was just having fun and Iniesta an was involved as well anyway. No big deal.

Not really a fair comparison. Apart from Vidal, both of those decisions were correct. If your hand/arm is in a natural position and the ball hits it, there's nothing wrong with that. The ref was right not to call it. And as far as I know, if the ball goes into the net after the shooter (unintentionally) handles it, that's not a goal. The rules might have changed, but this is the way I know it. But even if the rules changed, Neymar's arms weren't in their natural position, so it's still handball. If I'm not mistaken, it has more to do with the position of the arms than intention. I agree about Vidal, though. He easily could have been sent off. I guess Cakir made a judgement call to keep him on for the sake of leaving the final untainted by "questionable refereeing". Now that it's over, I honestly prefer us winning against 11 players than 10. Imagine the UEFAlona comments for years to come if Vidal had been sent off.

Neymar's disallowed goal was controversial anyway but I agree vidal should have been off and yeah he eventually thought not to send him off for the reason you mentioned.
