Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has voiced strong criticism of Polish referee Szymon Marciniak following his team’s 4-3 defeat to Inter Milan in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visibly disappointed after the loss at San Siro, the German manager accused the referee of favoring Inter with multiple contentious calls during the high-stakes clash. Goals from Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and Francesco Acerbi saw the match tied 3-3 at the end of regular time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Davide Frattesi\u2019s goal in the first half of extra time proved decisive, sending the Nerazzurri to the final, where they will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In the second half, we were really good. I don\u2019t want to talk about the referee, but every 50\/50 decision went their way,” Flick said during his post-match press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We gave everything, but in the end that\u2019s how it went \u2014 and that\u2019s what makes me a little sad. I\u2019m not a fan of discussing referees, but I told him what I thought. I won\u2019t repeat it here,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With their Champions League journey over, Bar\u00e7a will now turn their focus to La Liga, where a crucial Cl\u00e1sico against Real Madrid this Sunday could decide the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
