MATCH REVIEW
55th Minute: Alvaro Morata levels the score at one for Juventus on a rebound, but at least 4 Barcelona players appear to claim offsides. Looking at the play, it was close, but still a clear onside for AR Bahattin Duran.
70th Minute: In the most controversial play of the match, Neymar appears to have put Barca up 3-1, but AAR Hüseyin Göçek signals for a handball against Neymar on the goal. This is a tough one for me, because even though there is no doubt that the ball hit Neymar's hand off of his header, I have questions about whether he could have avoided it. For me the goal should stand since the handball wasn't deliberate.
Overview: Overall, Çakir and crew had a decent match. The only blip in the game for me was the handball call on Neymar's goal and my only criticism of Çakir is that he could have shown one or two more cards in the match.
Congratulations to these officials on their final performance and thank you to all the referees in who took charge of matches in European Competition this year!
