The English official received threats after making a penalty call against Juventus in the quarter final, actions UEFA states are unacceptable
Abuse sent to Michael Oliver and his wife following the referee's controversial penalty decision in the Champions League clash between Real Madrid and Juventus has been strongly condemned by UEFA.
Having lost the first leg of their quarter-final contest 3-0 at home, Juve were on the verge of forcing extra-time at the Santiago Bernabeu as they led by the same scoreline heading into stoppage time.
But then Oliver penalised Medhi Benatia for bundling Lucas Vazquez over from behind in the area and subsequently sent off Gianluigi Buffon for his reaction, which involved him putting his hands on the referee.
