In my opinion, it was a penalty. Why?
1) The Ref gave it.
2) The history books will say
Liverpool 1-1 Atletico Madrid
Gerrard (pen) 90+5 Maxi 37
Now if I was the ref (unbiased
), would I have given the Pen, probally not,
.
But how mant weird decisions have gone against us?
Chelsea Pen last year at Anfield
Goal against Stoke
Goals against Athletico in the first game...etc
I think we could lay this to bed as the game is over, the final score was 1-1, whether Stevie "dived", or was fouled, or made the most of player contact, is irrelivant, other players have done this for years, we have moaned and guess what...the resulting goal still stood.
So in all, well done for getting an equaliser and keeping us very close to the Knockout Stage.
