The day the world witnessed the worst referee performance ever Chelsea vs Barcelona 2009
Спорт
After a closely driven 0-0 draw at the Camp Nou in the 2009 Champions League semi-finals Barcelona visited Stamford Bridge to play in what arguably was the most controversial game in the history of European football.
What do you think? Was this game fixed? Or was it just a bad referee?

The ball clearly was under his arm close to the body, which means by the rules standpoint that it hit the body, not the arm, so there is no foul and no PK.

The only penalty is the handball from pique, everything else was diving. Furthermore, ballack should not have played that match as he should have been sent off on the previous game (which was a real robbery but somehow nobody speaks about it and the penalty to Henry).

I remember watching this match on TV. It was unreal. I was grabbing my head and thinking how is it possible for something like that to happen at this level of competition. The footballers themselves would referee better.
I don't understand why no one talks about the first leg of Barca vs Chelsea. No red card for Ballack,clear penalty for Barcelona denied, Ballack hand ball inside penalty area, Abidal Red card, Drogba foul on pique. Everyone just talks about denied penalties of chelsea.
You can't help but think the ref in that game was bunged a few quid to deny Chelsea, how can the ref not see four blantant penalty calls. I would be surprised if he was allowed to officate a game again after that match.

The red card for Abidal was about as bad as the missed penalties. He didn’t even touch Anelka and got sent off for nothing. Chelsea should’ve had at the very least two penalties and probably three. If I remember correctly, Drogba had the reputation as a diver, which could’ve affected the referee’s decision to not award him a penalty when he went down.
Anelka was diving. No penalty for diving.
It wasn't poor by the ref, the whole thing was absolutely rigged because top UEFA officials wanted a messi and Ronaldo final, it's obvious
even the fans, bench player and ppl watching thru tv CLEARLY SEE IT WAS HANDBALL, idk how much Barca pay this ref🤣
That handball was just redicolusly obvious...
I don't condone abusing a ref, but this ref was abusing the whole team the whole match.
One year prior to that the final match was MAN U vs Chelsea. MAN U had qualified for the final that year and Chelsea was about to against Barca. The last thing the UEFA wanted is to have the same teams playing finals again. Less money, less viewing rate, etc. It's all about money and the UEFA is corrupted as hell!

I usually don‘t like those matches where one side thinks that if you make enough penalty claims the referee will eventually be obligated to concede one - as if several half- or quarter-penalties will somehow sum up to a „full“ penalty. That‘s the way Brazil tried to provoke penalties during WC 2014 (six or seven ridiculous attempts in the Germany game alone). Get the crowd cooking, put pressure on the referee. Having said this, this match here is a different case altogether. Although not everything in this video was penalty-worthy, Chelsea should definitely have gotten two: one for that clear foul inside, not outside the box, and the other one for Piqué‘s handball. Very bad performance by the referee indeed.

All the PK by chelsea are diving so VAR won't give any. On other hand Abidal won't be sent off so Barca won't lack 1 defender which is the cause for chelsea attack with pressure and Barca committing all the handballs, the outcome might be same with Barcelona scoring in the end. If Chelsea won this match by handball PK, its unfair to Barca as well since Abidal unfairly sent off.
As a Chelsea fan i was absolutely devastated. Looking back now i still believe the refereeing was atrocious but now i don't think the "fouls" were worthy of penalties except for the two blatant handballs (the second was in front of the referee). Also, Abidal was not the last man so the red card ought to be a yellow.
Lets look at the facts. Chelsea: didn't get 3 penalties. Barcelona: Ballack didn't got send off for slapping iniesta, abidal got sent off for no reason, they didn't get a clear penalty on Henry in the 1st leg, got denied a clear goal scoring chance in 1st leg, didn't get a penalty for ballack handballing the ball inside the box in the second leg.
lol, it's crazy that Barcelona managed to advance after the ref red carded Abidal for nothing and didn't even send anyone from chelsea off for protesting.
Lol the 31st minute dive by Drogba is never a penalty ever.
legend says Ballack is still running after him 😂😂😂
I call that era Blatterball
As a Barca fan I’ll admit this refereeing was a joke. However I’ll at least admit that while people saying Barca paid referee while completely ignoring Abidal red card clearly wasn’t even a foul. Not as if Barca got it completely their way either.
If you think that refereeing is bad you obviously have'nt been to scotland .

If the match was “fixed”, why the wrong red card given against Barca? It was just dreadful refereeing, everything is not a conspiracy.
most of these aren't even bad calls, the red card at 65' and handball at 81' are yes. you can see why at 28' it was given as a free kick instead of a penalty, because initial contact was outside the box, still prob as a penalty though. 31' and 78' there is tiny contact, but not nearly enough to make him fall over(it was a dive). 95' is just people being stupid, if the ball hits the part of the arm that is about halfway to the elbow or higher, it is no handball, that is what happened. (ik this is going to get so many negative replies...)
actually great performance by the referee.. he did exactly what they paid him for ;) if ya know what I mean
This is probably not match fixing. The only penalties that should have been given to Chelsea was the two handball situations, but he did also give a red card to a Barcelona player after the Chelsea player got tripped by his own legs. I think this is just a case of bad refereeing.

Barcelona have been caught out and fined for bribing refs. They had the head of the Spanish refs in their pocket. Think to yourself. Why did Barca give money to refs ?
I'm surprised the referree could hear anything over the deafening music
As an Arsenal fan, l don't have a lot of time for Chelsea, but they were well and truly shafted that night. They should spend some of their money taking Barca and all the officials to court. They have all the evidence on video.
that's how uefalona was borned

0:50 (Dive) No Card For Chelsea And No Possession For Barca. 1:23 (Dive) No Card For Chelsea + Handball, But Red Card For Abbidal 1:51 (Dive) No Card For Chelsea Also Watch The 1st Leg, If The Chelsea Players We’re Rightfully Penalised The 2nd leg they wouldn’t have their best 11, and Barcelona would’ve scored in the 1st and 2nd leg, beating Chelsea.

You are delusional. If a ref caught every dive football history would be dramatically different. Plus the second one isn't even a dive. He's clearly pushed off balance. What the ref should be catching however is blatant handballs. Pique literally caught the ball. Chelsea were robbed.

Did you watch first leg??Barca were denied two penalties,,the case for abdal was not a red card
Drogba and Anelka were NOT penalties
If you think this is the worst referee performance ever you should watch about 5 games in the EFL.
Everyone is ignoring the obvious mistake that was Abidal red

The truth is, the referee will not be the size of the match, and I do not know how the referee got out of London while he was alive
I think this refree gambling for barça to qualifie it is clear
Even with VAR today, referees are getting away with atrocious calls. They have to be penalized, banned etc or it will continue.
The world obviously hasn’t seen Michael Oliver’s performances then

Hes on man utd payroll
At the time i thought Chelsea had been ripped off massively but watching it back now its just a standard poor refereeing performances. 1. Arguably a penalty for the foul on Malouda.hes gone down very softly 2. No penalty for Drogba just not being strong enough 3. Anelka dived 4. Blatent handball. Not deliberate but still handball. 5. Not handball, hits him on the back of his shoulder

Yeah, this is nowhere near the disgrace that was Italy - South Korea in 2002. In comparision, this ref seemed very competent.
If the referee was paid then why was abidal sent off. Chelsea just cried for pens all game and got outplayed by 10 men for most of the game. I'm saying this as a Man Utd fan, bearing in mind if Chelsea won we woulda beat em easily in the final. Anyone who disputes that knows Man Utd had Chelsea's number at that point. I did want us to play Chelsea but they were crying foul for everything.

VARchester United complaining about Chelsea criticizing the refereeing is a ready-made joke 😂😂😂😂😂
I didn’t see any dodgy decisions, Chelsea notorious bottlers
One thing that gets forgotten in all this fiasco is that there was two great goals
It must also be emphasized that Ballack should not have played that game
The worst decision was Abidal’s red i/o yellow for Anelka for simulation. And simulation by Chelsea there was a lot.. on the other hand, could have given penalty for Piqué’s hand even if that wasn’t a scoring opportunity.

You may debate on weither it was worthy of a red card or not, it still wasn't by any mean a dive from Anelka. On replay we see Abidal stripped Anelka's heel which on the run is enough to make him fall. I'm convinced it wasn't deliberate and here is why I'm ok hearing it shouldn't have been a red on Abidal but that being said there is literally 0 valid argument for it to be a yellow on Anelka.

We can also mention referee's performance during Serbia x Switzerland (Albanians pulling and pushing Serbs in the penalty area without consequences) or Germany x Sweden (referee not ending the game 10 minutes after the extra time ended only so Germans can score a goal) during world cup in Russia.
