Buffon Slams Ref

Gianluigi Buffon told English referee Michael Oliver he "has no heart" and should have been watching Juventus' Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid in the stands "with his wife and a Sprite".

Oliver awarded Real a penalty in the 93rd minute at the Santiago Bernabeu, after Juve defender Mehdi Benatia brought down Lucas Vazquez with a clumsy challenge from behind.

Buffon was then sent off for his protests and Cristiano Ronaldo scored the resulting spot-kick to drag Real through to the semifinals with a dramatic 4-3 aggregate win.

"This referee has no heart, he has a garbage bag instead of a heart" Buffon told Italian channel Mediaset Premium after the second leg tie which his team had won 3-1.

"If you do not have personality and courage, you should go to the stands to watch the match with your wife and with a Sprite.”
