Striker Olympique Marseille Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang criticized the work of the head referee Rade Obrenovic in the Champions League match with Sporting Lisbon (1:2). His words are quoted by Marca.

“The referees were not up to the mark. It was extremely poor refereeing. Emerson’s first yellow card was outrageous, he couldn’t do anything with his hand.

When there is such an important match in the Champions League, it is scandalous to have referees of this level. We were simply punished, because we played well, and then the referee completely changed the pattern of the game,” said the Gabonese.
