Roma’s run in the current edition of the Champions League came to an end in the round of sixteen after their 3-1 defeat against Porto in extra time. After the match Kostas Manolas spoke to Sky Sport about a controversial referee decision:”There’s regret since we could have scored the 2-2 on multiple occasions, then they give them a penalty and they don’t give us a clear one. In matches like these you cannot make these types of mistakes. We have VAR and the referee didn’t even consult it, for me that is a disgrace”
This is what the Greek defender had to say about the contrast between Marega and Schick in Porto’s penalty box:”When a team gives their best you can’t handle it this way. What did the referee tell us? That they saw it but there was nothing. But he needs to go see it. There was contact, it was obvious. I don’t understand how these things only happen to us. Last season they also didn’t give us two penalties, then the referee apologized but now we have VAR. You have to consult it, that is clear”
