Real Madrid vs Juventus on Champions League night, Wednesday, was drama filled and no less because of the late penalty against the visitors with the aggregate scoreline at 3-3.
Referee Michael Oliver had awarded a penalty on minute 90+3 and also accompanied it with a Red card to Gianluigi Buffon for dissent in the heat of the moment.
The decision divided opinion on the pitch and off it.
On Brila fm’s morning show, former Super Eagles defender, Ifeanyi Udeze described Medhi Benatia’s tackle as clumsy.
He said the Moroccan’s tackle would have left the Referee with no choice but to award a spot kick.
However, he also argued the red card to Buffon should have been a caution and not an outright sending off.
The other members on the show, Anthony Bekederemo and Babafemi Raji agreed it was a deserved penalty, albeit a controversial one.
On the sending off of Juventus goalkeeper, Buffon, the group was divided.
On social media, Super Falcons striker, Asisat Oshoala gave the penalty call a thumbs up and an extra nod for the execution of Cristiano Ronaldo’s perfect penalty.
In a series of tweets Asisat showed her support for Ronaldo, Los Blancos and the penalty:
Why should he not award it anyway ? Cus we enjoying d game ? Lol you just said “ yes it was a penalty”
