Raphinha Slams Champions League Exit as ‘Robbery’ After Barcelona’s Refereeing Frustrations Against Atletico Madrid

Barcelona forward Raphinha has vehemently criticized the officiating in his team’s Champions League quarter-final defeat to Atletico Madrid, labeling their exit as a “robbery.” Citing questionable red cards for Barcelona in both legs and unpunished fouls by Atletico, Raphinha expressed frustration over what he perceived as biased refereeing decisions.

His comments could lead to a UEFA charge, while Atletico’s goalkeeper dismissed the allegations as “ridiculous.”
