The coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Unai Emery, did not see his mistakes after losing in the UEFA Champions League and stated that the end of the match was determined by the referee's mistakes.
Yesterday, the first leg of the quarterfinals took place at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium between Real Madrid and PSG. The guests took the lead, but then Real responded with three goals and celebrated a victory with a score of 3-1.
An 11-meter penalty was awarded to PSG when Toni Kroos was illegally stopped with his hand in the penalty area, but U. Emery did not see fault here and also commented on other episodes.
"I have mixed feelings," - said U. Emery after the match. - "They equalized the result after a very controversial referee decision. Small details in these matches definitely did not help us achieve a positive result."
"The referee's decisions helped them come back into the game. I did not see the episode, but from the team, I heard that Sergio Ramos should have been penalized for a handball in the penalty area.
"If you make a decision about the first penalty, you have to do the same for the second one. The referee's job is to see all episodes, and if it's a penalty kick, you have to award it. I also think there was a foul before the second goal against Kimpembe.
"I'm not making excuses, but I'm convinced that we could have returned to the game if not for the controversial referee decisions," - the coach stated his thoughts.
PSG will try to retaliate against the Champions League winners on March 6th in Paris.
