I just don't like it when the "the hand of god" scores a goal in football and people say "same chances for everyone, they could have scored a goal with their hands as well". That is not how I understand competition on the highest level. For me that is competing with each other while being subject to the same rules and abiding to those rules in the same way while being judged by a referee in the same way. That is why a league of 38 games is also different than a competition like a World Cup or the Champions League. Luck (or the lack thereof) usually evens out throughout a season. Privilege (like in the case of Real Madrid) does not.
Hand of god was a one time thing and I am not sure if it keeps happening all the time. But I get it, world cup or UCL could be a bit shorter and that is why one bad ref decision could lead to a lot of stuff in the end. Look at europa league, I believe Roma deserved to win the game without a doubt, they deserved it to the end and the fact that they lost and Sevilla won was a shame and it was just terrible decision making by the ref and nothing more

So, there are moments even now like that, I am not arguing against that, but if we want to have a tournament then we are going to have to face that this is going to happen, we can't just have a whole league, it would not be smart, this is a lot better and makes a lot more money.
