Thiago Alcantara was not happy. After saying “I never give my opinion about the referees,” the Spanish midfielder changed his mind. He was furious about Bayern Munich’s defeat by Real Madrid and what had happened during the 120 minutes.
“We know that this clash, between rivals so equal, could go either way and would be decided by the smallest details, but not these…
“It annoys me so much that a tie so beautiful and important as this is not decided by the players but by someone external.”
He was referring to Hungarian referee Viktor Assai. “It’s clear that at this stage of the competition, for games of this level, you have to have referees of better quality.”
