UCL: Laporta lists five refereeing decisions that cost Barcelona against Atletico
Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has blamed their exit from the Champions League on key refereeing decisions.
Paul Cubarsi was dismissed for a last-man tackle as Atletico Madrid won the first leg at the Nou Camp.
Although Barca took a two-goal lead in the second leg, Ademola Lookman pulled one back for Atletico.
Hansi Flick’s men saw Ferran Torres’ second goal chalked off, before Eric Garcia was red-carded.
Laporta said: “In the first leg, we didn’t get a clear penalty and we got a red card when it had to be red on Pau Cubarsi’s foul.
“Then last night, the red card to Eric García was wrong. Koundé was there ready to win the ball. He wasn’t the last man.
“Also, it was wrong decision to disallow Ferran’s second goal and there was a penalty on Dani Olmo. Fermín got a big cut on his face… and not even a yellow card.”

Veteran actor, Kola Oyewo speaks on battle with prostate enlargement
Legendary Nollywood actor, Kola Oyewo, has opened up about his battle with prostate enlargement.
Oyewo made this known during actor Kunle Afod’s visit to his residence.
Speaking about his disappearance from the screen, the 80-year-old actor stated that the illness has restricted him from acting certain roles.
Narrating how it all started, Oyewo explained that he was diagnosed after experiencing sleepless nights and frequent urination among other symptoms.
“Before now, I could go from one location to another and play any role, but the illness has laid me back. I can no longer play certain roles except for some minor roles.
“I thank God because I’m getting better now. You can’t go through some kind of sickness and go back to how you’ve been before, but I thank God,” he said.
“There are so many people of my age that are still stronger than I am, but I thank God for preserving my life. I drove myself to the hospital after having sleepless nights, frequent urination and sometimes urinating on my body before I got to the toilet. After a series of tests, I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that Oyewo joined the movie industry in 1964, gaining popularity with ‘The Gods are not to blame’ and ‘Sango’.
He was also a lecturer at Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, from 1996 till he retired in 2011.
