Ballad the referee! Flick: The player puts all his strength into the referee, and he is very disappointed with the referee, and the penalty is biased towards the opponent!

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona lost to Inter 3-4. This overtime battle not only witnessed the tenacious reversal of the Nerazzurri, but also caused an uproar due to the controversial penalty of referee Maziniak. After the game, Barcelona coach Frick expressed his dissatisfaction at the press conference. He pointed out that the referee always favored Inter Milan in the 55-5 penalty and emphasized that such an ending is unfair to my players.

In the first half, Barcelona forward Olmo shot in the penalty area, and the ball was blocked by Inter Milan central defender Archerby with his arm. The referee Maziniak failed to verify through VAR and directly signaled the game to continue. This penalty was rated as a "misjudgment that may change the game's trend" by the Daily Sports News. If Barcelona had scored a penalty and scored at that time, the game would have likely gone in a different direction. The controversy over the

stoppage time is even more intense. Inter Milan wingback Dumfries stole Barcelona player Martin, but VAR still did not intervene. This move led to Archerby finishing the tie goal, dragging the game into overtime. Frick said bluntly after the game: These ambiguous punishments are always beneficial to Inter Milan, and the use standards of VAR are puzzling.

Flick repeatedly emphasized the imbalance between players' efforts and referee's penalty. He said: I am proud of the players' performance, they have contributed an outstanding game, but the referee's penalty has disappointed me. He pointed out directly: Whenever there is a 50-5 situation, the referee's decision always tends toward Inter Milan. This is not accidental, but a systematic problem.

"Daily Sports Daily" also posted an analysis after the game that the referee Maziniak's three key decisions dominated the score 4-3. Although the replay screen showed that the foul was indeed outside the penalty area and the penalty for canceling the penalty was correct, the other penalty was more controversial. The introduction of VAR technology should have improved fairness, but in this competition, VAR's "selective intervention" and the referee's subjective penalty once again triggered doubts about technical standards.

For Barcelona, ​​this loss is both a setback and a growth. Frick stressed: We will learn from this experience and return with a stronger attitude next season. Inter Milan is heading towards the final with controversy and doubts, and they need to prove their strength with the championship trophy.
