Sport;See What May Happen To Referee That Officiated Controversial Barcelona Vs PSG Champions League Match
Following his controversial decisions in the UEFA
Champions League match between Barcelona
and PSG at Camp Nou, reports in Spain claim
that Deniz Aytekin may be removed.
The German official’s decision not to award PSG
a penalty when Javier Mascherano brought down
Angel di Maria in the box has fallen under
particular scrutiny.
Mascherano later admitted, “It is clear that I did
foul Di Maria but I think that is not the reason
why we eliminated PSG.”Aytekin went on to award Barcelona an injury-
time penalty when Luis Suarez fell in the box
under minimal contact. Neymar converted the
spot-kick before Sergi Roberto scored in the
sixth minute of injury-time, as Barcelona won
the tie 6-5 on aggregate.
The referee has been heavily criticised in the
French press for his performance and now the
Spanish publication Marca are reporting that
Aytekin is likely to be struck from the Champions
League match officials list.
That decision ultimately rests with former referee
Pierluigi Collina, who now works as UEFA’s
Head of Refereeing.
