Barcelona midfielder, Pedri, has come out to tell UEFA to investigate the refereeing performance in the club’s harrowing 4-3 Champions League semifinal defeat to Inter Milan at San Siro. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the obvious penalty decision on Yamal that was later changed to a free kick should have been a yellow card for Mkhitaryan, and that would have been his second booking.
Pedri added that every 50-50 call was also in Inter Milan’s favour on the night, and some of the decisions were far from understandable.
His words, “It’s not the first time this happens to us with this referee, UEFA should look into it.
Every 50-50 for them … There are things that I don’t understand and which are hard to explain.
In the penalty on Lamine [Yamal], which was after given as a free kick, there’s no booking for [Henrikh] Mkhitaryan, which would have been his second booking.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
