It does not be necessary obviar that the Real Madrid has his own merit for having conquered another Champions, but also is true that carried several pushes in the suitable moment. Referees and goalkeepers have an important weight in the conquest of the 'orejona'

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Another year more, the Real Madrid has saved his season proclaiming champion of the Champions, and already go three followed and four of the last five. While the rivals reinforce and adjust his plans to overthrow to the big champion, the European helps to the whites every time escuecen more, and is that they have suffered them some of the best teams of the continent.

The paper of favourite snatch it the whites because in his parties always happen things. It is true that the spirit of survival is an essence that have had along his history, but the doubts always fall of the same side and this flake to a lot of opponents. Big or small, almost all finish going out trasquilados.

In case his way was not sufficiently flat, this year have had some unexpected collaborators, the rival goalkeepers. In the turn of semifinals a failure of Sven Ulreich already was decisive for the classification of the 'merengues', but the performance of Loris Karius in the final will remain for the memory by nefasta. And this by not speaking of the injuries that separated to cracks like Neymar, Arjen Robben, Arturo Vidal or Mohamed Salah. Simply incredible.

The referee's errors that favoured to the Real Madrid in Champions

Eighth of final: Paris Saint-Germain

The PSG showed, a year more, that in his fight by the Champions still is far to be a big, and the referees finish to bury him in an eliminatory that hardly could contest. With advantage in the party of gone, appeared Gianluca Rocchi to signal a piscinazo of Toni Kroos after a levísimo braceo with Giovani Celso, and once consummated the traced back, left without punishment some flagrant hands of Sergio Bouquets inside the area. Unai Emery defended that they were victims of his errors, but that the referees did the rest.

Quarter-finals: Juventus of Turín.

If to the 'Vecchia Signora' hurt him the gone, worse was the thump of the turn. Of Turín, the Real Madrid carried a 0-3 that did not disfigure by two penaltis: Some hands of Casemiro in the area and an entrance of Dani Carvajal to Juan Squared that 'flew'. In Santiago Bernabéu arrived the escándo absolute: The Juventus equalised the 0-3 and remained some seconds for the extention, but appeared Michael Oliver to signal a maximum penalty of Mehdi Benatia after a doubtful action with Lucas Vázquez. In the minute 93 Gianluigi Buffon was expelled, and Cristiano Ronaldo did not forgive.

Semifinals: Bayern of Munich

The Bayern already came warned by a controversial crossing in the past edition, but in this also had many played that regret. In the Allianz Sand, the derribos of Dani Carvajal and Raphaël Varane to Robert Lewandowski did not finish in the eleven metres, and in spite of the protests, the Bavarians travelled to Spain with a 1-2 against.

In the capital the things were not better, because the Pole went back to be victim of two hits without punishment, although Sergio Bouquets went of rositas. The Germans replaced with utmost difficulty of an error inexplicable of Sven Ulreich, but some clear hands of Marcelo neither finish marking the difference. At least, for the germanos, because yes they did it for the men of Zinedine Zidane.

Final: Liverpool

If there was three played that marked the final, in them there is hardly three protagonists: Sergio Bouquets that left 'KO' to Mohamed Salah and Loris Karius that sentenced to his with two historical errors. Although the action between the central and the attacker seemed haphazard, went a fault that not even resolved with yellow, and the of the guardameta deserves a chapter separate by some improper failures of the final of the Champions. The never seen.
