      Watch it again dude, it was the attackers chest.

        Yep. Benatia first pushes Vazquez from behind and then kicks his chest without getting any of the ball. Kudos to Oliver for seeing it correctly.

            I still can't understand that there can be any doubt. It can only be a result of the circumstances of the game, the drama, that has blinded people to what actually happened. The defender bowls over the player from behind, when the attacking player is facing the goal mouth with a clear goal scoring opportunity. It's a free kick all over the park and a blatant pen in the box. The only debate should be about if the defender should have been sent off for the challenge, or why he wasn't yellow-carded.

            You can find this:
            "Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off".

            Here: http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-12–-fouls-and-misconduct

            "Soft pen" has become a term people use when a penalty is awarded that they'd rather wasn't (I should know, I've done it myself  😃 ).

              Not to mention the defender himself said it was worthy of a penalty.

                  Thoughts on the semi-finals draw? I think Roma (sorry, neph!) will face Real in the final and Madrid conquering the CL-hat-trick.

                    Real are the favorites for sure. As for Roma, impossible to say. Could go either way.

                      Apart from my boys, the highlight of this EPL season for me has to be Rafa Benitez and Toon’s second half of the season. Some cracking results. Hope Rafa gets the support he deserves from the club in the summer.

                        That’s my highlight of the season too  😉

                        Rafa sounds serious about staying put, saying he wants us in the top 8 next season, here hoping the Jabba the owner puts his hands in his pocket this summer.

                          Is this Liverpools year?  Definitely Salah's year.  Sticking it to his old club too.

                            Just remember that Barcelona won 4:1 at home against them but then lost 😇 in Rome. Liverpool should be clever enough to not overestimate tonight's result.

                              Steady on Matt, it’s only half time in the first leg. Lot’s can happen.

                                  Understand all that but come on, Liverpool is flying and hunger,  confidence and momentum are huge intangibles.

                                      Well, LFC scored three more goals after my thoughts but also conceded surprisingly two. I still think they are going to be the first finalist in Kiev. It's going to be a tough ride next week in Italy for sure.

                                        Should be an interesting second leg for sure.

                                          I think there are very few Liverpool fans who find this surprising. I'm mostly just happy we didn't let in three.

                                            Just looked it up and Roma didn't concede a single goal this CL season at home. This should be very interesting regarding LFC's Fab Three up front.
