Mark Clattenburg awards contentious penalty in second-half of Champions League final


REAL MADRID VS ATLETICO MADRID - CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL - PREVISÃO CHAPADA - FIFA 16

It had all been going so well for English referee Mark Clattenburg.

The English referee came into this match on the back of a difficult few weekscriticised for his performance in the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace, as well as Tottenham"s bad-tempered 2-2 draw against Chelsea but the first half of the Champions League final had been a relatively uneventful affair.

Not so the second-half. Within a few minutes of the half beginning,Pepe lunged forward to prevent Fernando Torres from receiving the ball just within Real Madrid"s penalty area, only to send the ex-Chelsea striker sprawling to the turf.

Torres immediately appealed for the decision and Clattenburg was forced into a decision: penalty, or no penalty?He opted for the former.
