Did you actually watch the replay? Pique go their first, Balotelli clipped his foot, Pique started to fall and fell into Balotelli and they both ended up on the floor. How could Pique hit Balotelli when he was in front of him. It wasn't a pen.
Get Fabregas off the pitch and play a striker or get the **** out of the tournament
Edit: This type of football, that so many love, is worse than Denmark's park the bus approach.
