Tom Henning Overbo (Ref) wrote his name into the history books with the refereeing of the Champions Leagues semi -final in 2008/2009 after a 0-0 at the Camp Nou in the first leg.
That night, the game ended 1-1 with Andres Iniesta’s late wonder goal proving decisive, but is remembered for Chelsea claiming as many as four penalties none of which were unjustified.
23rd minute: Foul inside the area given outside
Dani Alves hacked down Florent Malouda, the referee gave a foul but awarded a free kick outside the box rather than a penalty.
26th minute: Shirt pull from Abidal on Drogba
Eric Abidal tugged Didier Drogba shirt almost off his bank, pulling him down in the box without making any contact with the ball.
55th minute: Yaya Toure gets the ball and the man
Again Drogba was involved as Yaya slide tackle got the ball, but only by taking out the powerful centre forward first.
78th minute: Contacts knocks Anelka over
Yaya Toure was again involved as Nicolas Anelka beat him for pace but was pushed down from behind.
81st minute: Handball from Pique
