“For me it was a stolen game”

Raphinha, who traveled with the team to the Metropolitano to encourage his teammates in the comeback attempt, was outraged with the referee’s performance at the end of the match: “It was a stolen match, the refereeing was very bad. The decisions they made were incredible,” he said.

Along these lines, the Brazilian footballer, today absent due to injury, criticized the harshness with which Simeone’s team was used: “Atlético made I don’t know how many fouls and they didn’t show him any yellow cards. I want to understand that it is really a fear that Barcelona could win.”
