In the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match between "Barcelona" and "Atletico Madrid," held within the framework of the round, the complaint of the Catalan representative, dissatisfied with the referee, was not upheld.
Medianews.az reports that the Catalonia club officially protested the referee's decisions immediately after the match held on April 8.
The Catalan management strongly protested, especially for the penalty not being awarded when Atletico Madrid's defender Mark Pubil handled the ball in the penalty area in the second half of the match. Club officials emphasized that this decision violated the rules and directly affected the flow and final result of the game.
However, the top football authority deemed this protest unfounded and unacceptable in the decision it made yesterday.
It should be noted that the decisive return match between the sides will start today in Madrid at 23:00 Baku time.//Oxu.Az
