Both players were pushing it, this is a case of bidding slam just in case it might make, it could have as easily gone: 1-6.

I am looking at the bidding again and again, and the only bid that limited south's strenght seems to be 6. Because I guess at that point he could had bid 7.

I don't care much how you play 2, but you have to say I am minimum at some point below the 6 level.

And no bid at all limited north's strength. And there was an obvious way for north to limit his/her hand, by avoiding bidding 3NT - which was pretty ridiculous with a minimum and horrible trumps.
Kind regards,
