Speaking after the game to the media, Raphinha who missed both games due to injury, didn’t mince words while grading refereeing in the quarterfinal tie.
“For me, this match was a robbery. Not just this match but the other one as well. The refereeing was really bad, the decisions [Clement Turpin] makes are unbelievable.”
“I don’t know how many fouls Atletico made but the referee didn’t give them a single yellow card. I really want to understand why they’re so afraid that Barcelona will come and win” Raphinha said.
