The most obvious a handball committed by Gerard Pique, yet Ovrebo stood firm in his decision to allow play to continue. This enraged Michael Ballack, with the German international screaming in the face of the Norwegian official. JUST IN: Aston Villa offer Villa Park to stage the Champions League final
