Atletico Madrid star fires back at Barcelona captain over 'robbery' claim: 'It is madness' | Barca Universal
""It seems as though there were three penalties they didn't get, or four red cards. You can't talk about a robbery. I understand what Raphinha is saying, I understand what anyone might say, I respect everyone's opinion, but let's not start talking about theft because it doesn't help.""
""We won on the pitch; we beat them 2-0 away. Last man, in football, is a red card, unfortunately. Barça are a team we respect a lot and it really motivates us to play against them; they're a great team, but to talk about a 'robbery' is madness.""
""It's madness to try and pass this off as a robbery. If they're asking for a penalty for the Fermin incident, it's a challenge that pains me for him, but it was not a penalty.""
Juan Musso responded to Raphinha's claims of robbery following Barcelona's elimination from the Champions League. Musso stated that Atletico's qualification was deserved and not influenced by officiating. He acknowledged the emotional nature of Raphinha's comments but emphasized that Atletico won fairly. Musso expressed respect for Barcelona as a team but criticized the notion of robbery as madness. He also addressed a collision involving Fermin Lopez, stating that it was not a penalty and that the narrative around the match has gone too far.
