The Champions League quarter-final encounter Wednesday featuring teams from Italy and Spain triggered another round of emotional reactions from the great footballing nations following Tuesday’s dramatics.

Juventus’ attempt to repeat the unlikely feat that Roma accomplished a day before against Barcelona ended in heartbreaking fashion. A controversial penalty, followed by the sending-off of legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, helped Real Madrid progress to the semi-finals.

Unlike the reaction that followed Roma’s triumph, the Italian press was up in arms over Juve’s elimination, while the outlook of Catalan papers contrasted with the views of other Spanish outlets that praised the tenacious Los Blancos. Here’s a look at the front pages and headlines (translated by Football Italia).

Italy

‘What a robbery!’

Corriere dello Sport was outraged by Juve’s elimination, suggesting a non-existent penalty benefited Real Madrid and that referee Michael Oliver should be ashamed.

‘The rage and the pride’

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the penalty call that paved the way for Juve’s elimination was “very dubious.”

‘Not like that! Immense Juve go out’

Tuttosport saluted Juventus for putting up an admirable fight at the Bernabeu.

Spain

‘It was a penalty!’

Madrid-based outlet Marca, meanwhile, didn’t see what all the fuss was about and declared that Oliver made the correct call.

‘Master in refereeing’

Mundo Deportivo chose a somewhat controversial image of Medhi Benatia appearing to win the ball fairly for its front page. Although some accused the Catalan-based paper of photoshopping the image, it appears that Mundo Deportivo chose a picture of the incident after Benatia made contact with Lucas Vazquez.

‘The theft of the century’

Catalan newspaper Sport didn’t sugarcoat its opinion on the penalty decision, as it slammed Oliver’s call and subsequent sending-off of Buffon in what was expected to be the goalkeeper’s final Champions League match.

Crowd trouble in the Turkish Cup semi-final between Fenerbahce and Besiktas left visiting manager Senol Gunes injured and requiring five stitches as the second leg was abandoned at 0-0 on Thursday.

Sky Sports reports Besiktas boss Gunes was struck by an object thrown by Fenerbahce fans and suffered a head wound as a result, dropping to the ground and holding his head near the hour mark.

Gunes was helped to his feet and taken down the tunnel of the Sukru Saracoglu stadium to receive treatment. The rest of Besiktas’ players, coaches, and staff exited the match soon after, causing proceedings to be abandoned by the referee.

The Guardian adds Gunes was taken to hospital to treat his injury.

Footage seemingly showing a Besiktas staff member being beaten also emerged after the match:

The rivalry between the Turkish giants splits the city of Istanbul, and games between the two have a history of violence. The 2-2 first-leg draw featured a pair of red cards, issued to Fenerbahce pair Alper Potuk in the 44th minute and goalkeeper Volkan Demirel in the 76th, and the second leg, before its abandonment, saw Besiktas’ Pepe sent off for a mistimed lunging tackle at the half-hour mark.

The heated play on the pitch likely stoked the trouble in the stands. Fans of Fenerbahce aimed objects at Besiktas players during corner kicks, with the home players urging their own supporters to calm down, to no avail.
