Michael Oliver's brave - and correct - decision to send off Gianluigi Buffon shows he belongs amongst the elite
Glad to see english paper coming out to defend Michael Oliver. As much as I hate Madrid, the ref made the correct decision. Disgusting to see Italian papers and Buffon trying to end...
"A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage."

Correct call.
The Man City side - who were in no way going to be impacted by the coach greeting - have arrived 3 hours early to avoid the crowd
That is one part of the job done for us :cool1:
