Fierball.
Review the penalty episode carefully once more. The Bayern player played the BALL, after which the Zenit player simply crashed into him with a straight leg raised high. Whether the attacking team's player possessed the ball at the moment of the collision, or not, is irrelevant from the point of view of the rules of football. It was clearly a violation of the rules, punishable by a free kick. Since it happened in the penalty area, it was a penalty.
Regarding the handball in the penalty area. This episode is up to the referee's discretion. I didn't notice any deliberate handball. Besides this episode, there was an episode where the ball hit Tymoshchuk's hand in the Zenit penalty area (also in the second half). The referee made an identical decision.
Also, in the Liverpool - Chelsea match, there was an episode where the ball hit Ballack's hand - the same decision was made by a different referee.
I repeat once again - the refereeing was at a quite decent level and was consistent (which is very important) and in no way affected the result and the course of the match. One non-scoring mistake in 90 minutes (the episode in the center of the field involving Tymoshchuk) in favor of the opposing team is not a reason to attack the referee, especially so categorically.
P.S. Don't look for a black cat in a dark room, especially when there isn't one there.
P.P.S. Although, it's not a fact that it won't appear in the return match:( Let's hope that won't happen:smile41:

Порою люди не со зла
Творят настолько черные дела,
Что до таких блистательных идей
Не вдруг дойдет и записной Злодей
Темный адепт клана GODS
