– The Catalan newspaper Al -Mundo turned against the referee Matthew Lahouz after his statements that the referee of the Arsenal and Real Madrid match in the first leg of the Champions League quarter -finals had erred by expelling Eduardo Kamavinga after he kicked the ball angry, as he had to take into account the feelings of the players.
The newspaper highlighted previous decisions for the same constellation, in which he did not express any consideration for the feelings of anyone, as Jordi Alba was once expelled after he said angry: “Always the same thing with me!”, And the red card in the face of Osman Dembele was due to a simple comment, despite Messi’s intervention at the time by saying: “He is not good at Spanish.”
Al -Mundo commented that what is said is a clear contradiction that raises questions about the standards of justice and arbitration in football fields.
