Atletico Madrid star Marc Pubill has been quizzed on the controversial decision not to award a penalty against his side in the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Barcelona.
Pubill bizarrely handled after goalkeeper Juan Musso has restarted play but escaped conceding a penalty and being awarded a second yellow card.
The decision left Barcelona furious after the game, but Pubill insists he did nothing wrong.
“I think UEFA has already given their version, so there’s no need to say more,”
he told reporters. “My opinion is clear. No, you can never whistle like that. So I have nothing more to add.”
Barcelona submitted a complaint to UEFA about the match officials in the wake of the 2-0 defeat which was subsequently dismissed as “inadmissible.”
More controversy following in the same leg, as Eric Garcia was sent off and Dani Olmo denied a penalty, leading Joan Laporta to brand the refereeing a “disgrace” and insist the club would file another complaint.
