Lucas Vazquez: Juve are angry because they're jealous
​Believed to be controversial by some in Italy, the spot kick allowed the Merengues to reduce the score to 3-1, and eliminate the brave Bianconeri.
The Spanish midfielder was still incredulous about the reaction in Italy, claiming – as he did after the game – that Mehdi Benatia barged into him at shoulder height, and from behind.
It was a penalty, that's clear," he said in an interview.
“People are giving so much attention to something that has already happened. "The penalty is being discussed more in Spain than in Italy."
The 26-year-old claimed, in fact, that the anger owed to people being threatened by Real’s success in the Champions League – the Chamartin team making eight straight semi-finals in the competition.
“It hurts people to see us in the semi-finals eight years in a row,"
"It creates envy with people that we have to learn to live with."Many people are happy about our misfortune."
