"The game was completely robbed. The referee had a lot of problems. Some of the decisions he took were incredible. I don't know how many fouls Atlético made and he didn't book them."
"It's human to commit one error, but for it to happen again in another game? We played really well, but this tie was robbed from us."
"It was tough, especially when we see that we need to put in three times the effort to win the match. I really want to understand why [the referee] is so scared of Barça getting through the tie."
Raphinha criticized the officiating after Barcelona's Champions League elimination by Atlético Madrid, stating the game was 'robbed.' Despite winning 2-1 on the night, Barcelona lost 3-2 on aggregate. Early goals from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres leveled the tie, but a late red card for Eric García ended their hopes. Raphinha highlighted the referee's poor decisions and noted Barcelona's previous complaints to UEFA about officiating. He expressed frustration over the perceived bias against Barcelona in crucial matches.
