"Following the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg between Barcelona and Atlético, Barcelona filed a protest relating to a referee decision. The UEFA Control Ethics and Disciplinary Body has declared the protest to be inadmissible."
"Barça coach Hansi Flick had fumed after the game, which ended in a 2-0 victory for Atlético, that Pubill should have been sent off -- he was already on a yellow card -- and his team awarded a penalty."
"I am calm now. I have had enough time. [Turpin] is an experienced referee. No doubts."
Barcelona's complaint regarding a refereeing decision in their Champions League quarterfinal loss to Atlético Madrid was ruled inadmissible by UEFA. The complaint centered on a potential penalty for a handball by Marc Pubill after a goal kick. UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body reviewed the arguments and found no case to answer. Coach Hansi Flick expressed frustration over the incident but later expressed confidence in the referee for the second leg of the tie, emphasizing his calmness and support for the officiating.
