After the match, Judge Szymon Marciniak's performance was sharply criticised, with some strong criticism going in favour of Inter.
The context following Barcelona's disappointment with the Polish judge is that Marcinianak was also responsible during a decisive draw at iuseppe Meazzaić two years ago, not judging a clear hand touch by Denzel Dumfrees in the penalty area.
This is not the first time this has happened to this judge. UEFA must investigate. There are things I don't understand and they're complicated. For me, the penalty for Lamine, he had to exclude the MIkhitaryan, who already had a yellow card. But there's a lot of decisions”, said Pedri for Marca after the match, reports the telegraph broadcast. Periscope.
Meanwhile, Eric Garcia was the player who had to give his reaction after the match in the field right after the last whistle, and he also had bitter memories of Marcinak.
I don't know what's wrong with this stadium. I've been here three times and, for one reason or another, or because of something beyond our control, things have not gone our way. We all know what happened to this judge the last time we came over here”, Marcia said.
Barcelona's other defender, Inigo Martinez, was also not impressed by what he saw by the judges.
Everyone saw that decisions always made the same way. Even though we don't want to blame him. We keep our heads up”, Martinez added.
While Ronald Arawio claimed there was a foul on the eve of the Inter draw goal at the extra time. He was asked if the judge had anything to do with the outcome.
I think so. In the 3-3 draw, it was a foul to Gerard Martin; he went to the ball and was not allowed to take it. But we must not make excuses; we must keep our heads up. This team has a direct mentality and is a generation that will surely win many Champions League”, Arawio said.
However, Wojciech Szczesny was not willing to criticise his countrymen after losing to Inter.
I know that in case of a loss, people usually talk about the judge's performance, but I'm not going to rely on it. There's no need to make excuses. Things will be discussed, but it's not worth going down that way”, the Polish goalkeeper said.
