Pique later conceded that the ball had struck his hand. "The referee decided it wasn't a penalty, and sometimes it's wrong," said the former Manchester United centre-half, who will now confront his former team-mates in Rome. The visiting manager Pep Guardiola also stated that he could "understand Chelsea's disappointment with the performance of the referee".

The thing is, a ball can strike a hand in a lot of different ways and it's not a penalty. The hand must activly seek the ball or be in a unatural position. I can't see that this was the case here and I wouldn't have given a penalty either.
