The punishment for both teams was disqualification first and foremost.
The Norwegian ref at Anfield on Tuesday night was certainly on our side - though not as much as the ref the week before at Barca. I don't want to take anything away from a fantastic performance from Les Rouge but I was surprised (and refreshed) to see a Euro ref that let a match be played in a physical english style yet took absolutely none of the usual sly european tactics employed to win a match by unfair means and foul.
And in Istanbul the Barca goal from Luis Enrique was clearly offside - though strangely the TV footage beamed back to us conveniently changed camera at the point when we could have seen the offside clearly.
I would have liked to see Roma in the last eight as opposed to another Spanish one - Roma also proved that they were better than Barca in their two group matches. However having seen the farcical scenes at the end of the Roma vs Gala match I have to conclude that justice, by whatever means, has been served.
