For yet another year, the 11th in a row, Barcelonadid not reach the top of Europe.
This year, however, they did not even come close, as on Tuesday evening after Easter, they were eliminatedfrom the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Despite their 1-2 victoryover Atletico Madridat the "Metropolitano" (the first home defeat for the Madrid team in a knockout match since 1997), the Catalans were knocked out, as they had lost the first leg 0-2.
There is a lot of discussion, however, about the refereeing of Clément Turpin, with Raphinha, despite not playing, speaking of a "robbery".
In his statements after the match, the Brazilian winger stressed that the refereeing was "awful" and that there is a fear that Barça will go to the final.
"It's a stolen match. Making a mistake is human, but for it to happen again in the second leg? We played very well, but this qualification was stolen from us.
The refereeing was awful, the decisions he made are incredible. Atletico committed countless fouls and the referee didn't even show them a yellow card. I really want to understand his fear that Barça might qualify for the final."
