Barca players put on a lively performance.
The Milan duo remained unmoved.
Mata and the youngsters watched from afar.
Casillas came up to try to mediate.
But no matter who tried, no one could shake Rizzoli's resolve; it was as if he held an Otto M42, determined to turn against Spain's tank today.
To prove he wasn't joking, Rizzoli even showed Casillas a yellow card, warning: "If you keep pestering, I'll give you more cards."
Spanish players suddenly lost their temper.
Torres and Ramos cursed under their breath as they walked back, feeling as if they'd suffered a huge injustice.
If Ramos hadn't hung his head, he would have laughed out loud.
The Kiev Olympic Stadium was filled with cheers, as fans had forgotten about Rizzoli awarding Spain a penalty.
Rizzoli breathed a sigh of relief.
This will definitely have repercussions after the match.
But he also had his reasons.
At this stage of the game, the teams were getting intense, forcing him to maintain control.
Indeed.
