Scandal in the Champions League: Karabakh coach criticized the referees

Karabakh coach Gurban Gurbanov He shared his views on refereeing in the match against Eintracht Frankfurt in the 7th round of the Champions League general stage (3:2).

“I think there is no need for unnecessary explanations when it comes to the referees’ actions. When the penalty kick was awarded, I was angry like the people around me, but I quickly managed to pull myself together (laughs).

Situations like this are part of football, they happen. Our esteemed President has already made a comprehensive and accurate assessment of what happened. I express my sincerest gratitude to him,” Azerisport quotes Gurbanov as saying.

Previously, the statement of the President of Azerbaijan had emerged, emphasizing that the referees approved by UEFA were trying to block Karabakh’s path to success with their biased and ambiguous decisions.

Let us remind you that in the 78th minute of the match, when the score was 1:1, chief referee Sandro Scherer pointed to the “point” in the Azerbaijani club’s goal. It is noteworthy that in a similar episode before this, the referee did not penalize the German team for a similar rule violation.
