I don't know if they've actually got a chance, but i could see where they're coming from on the winning goal. A free-kick was played in long, an Espanyol player was pulled down and the referee blew his whistle, only for some other guy to head it in a split second later so the ref allowed it. I don't know the ins and outs of the rule book, but i'd have thought if the ref blows his whistle then it would have to stop, even though he was going to give a penalty.

-edit- Turns out they've decided against appealing for it to be overturned.
