Surprised Dante wasn't sent off, and I'm glad he wasn't, in addition to the penalty kick. The precedent was set earlier in the Champions League: accidental high boots while clearly trying to make a play on the ball are automatically straight reds with no questions asked.
Hopefully the official today isn't disciplined over disregarding that precedent as I thought he did well to let the players decide it. Congrats to the champs, as well as Dortmund on their superb season.
