Former France national team and Bayern Munich striker Jean-Pierre Papin commented on the referees' performance in Real Madrid's Champions League matches. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, referees are more lenient towards the Madrid team compared to others. Papin emphasized that referees sometimes try to smooth over situations occurring in the game.
For example, instead of sending Carvajal off the field, referees approach him and almost hug him. Also, penalty decisions can be very strange and incomprehensible.
Such situations raise questions among fans and experts. Papin believes that helping a big club like Real in this way is not right and stressed that this situation is excessive.
It is worth noting that in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Real defeated Marseille 2-1 at home. In this match, two goals were scored from penalty kicks, both executed by Kylian Mbappe.
These events sparked new debates about the fairness of refereeing and the integrity of the game. Overall, since referees' decisions can affect the outcome of the match, their performance should be taken seriously.
