The president of Juventus, Andrea Agnelli, watched in frustration as the club's players left the "Santiago Bernabeu" pitch.
The representatives of Serie A were very close to a sensation - in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, the visitors managed to equalize the aggregate score against Real Madrid (3:3), but the referee's decision to award a penalty kick crushed the hopes of the Italians.
"Now there are incidents happening against our country's clubs - a mistake against Cuadrado, Milan suffered against Arsenal, and last night the same happened in Madrid. This proves that the Champions League needs to implement a video review system (VAR).
We are not just talking about one or two points, this is the prestige of the entire tournament. We cannot allow such incidents to happen in the future.
For some reason, the person in charge of appointing referees constantly assigns unfavorable referees to Italian clubs.
Players make mistakes, and referees do too, but what happened now - is a complete lack of control of the situation. The referee in Madrid should have seen the very strict decision taken in the first leg in Turin and the red card given to P. Dybala, and understood the various situations.
There was chaos on the pitch. It's a pity, because today, like the other clubs, we have shown that it is possible to turn the situation around being 0:3 down. The referee completely misunderstood the situation," Agnelli said.
