Admits robbery to PSG! Former referee confesses everything about Barcelona vs PSG of 2017

Unthinkable things happen in the UEFA Champions League, simply magical that only the best football on the planet can offer. We have seen how giants like Real Madrid can lose against teams like Sheriff Tiraspol (from Moldova) at the Santiago Bernabeú.

But we have also witnessed equally unbelievable robberies like the one against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2009 when refereeing in the semi-finals clearly helped Barcelona go through to the final which they would go on to win against Manchester United. That Champions League final was Cristiano Ronaldo's last game before leaving for Real Madrid.

But that was not the only time referees helped Barcelona. Now Tony Chapron, former French Ligue 1 referee, gives his opinion about the fateful second match between Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain in 2017. "Today and five years later, I can say it, and perhaps, once retired, it is easier to say that we are human and we are also wrong,” he said in a television interview.

What did he think about the refereeing of that match?

The match was handled by German referee Deniz Aytekin, and Tony Chapron's verdict is very harsh. "The 5-1 penalty was not, there is contact but Suárez helps a lot with the simulation. Here you can see that the referee was overwhelmed by the situation. It is a lack of lucidity.” he said during his interview
“If Barcelona had not been classified the same way, the refereeing performance would have been forgotten, but it was not like that. It is a context that we will never see again" he concluded.
