Furious Bompastor Slams ‘Not Good Enough’ Champions League Refereeing After Chelsea’s Controversial Exit to Arsenal
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor launched a scathing attack on the standard of refereeing in the Women’s Champions League following her team’s quarter-final defeat to Arsenal. Bompastor, who was shown two yellow cards herself, expressed outrage over a pivotal incident where Katie McCabe appeared to pull Alyssa Thompson’s hair without VAR intervention. This frustration comes as Chelsea exits the competition despite a 1-0 second-leg victory, failing to overcome Arsenal’s aggregate lead, amidst revelations of Chelsea’s substantial spending on agents’ fees.
