"Marseille" club's sporting director expressed dissatisfaction with refereeing

The sports director of the "Marseille" club expressed dissatisfaction with refereeing

France’s "Marseille" club is not showing successful results in the Champions League. The team has lost three out of its first four matches.

In the latest round, the club lost 0-1 to the Italian side "Atalanta". In the closing minutes of the game, "Marseille" players demanded a penalty, claiming the opponent handled the ball.

However, the referees ignored these appeals. The club’s sporting director, Mehdi Benatia, shared his opinion on the situation.

"That was a clear penalty, everyone saw Ederson play with his hand. This is the second such case for us in the Champions League.

In the match against "Real", a dubious penalty was awarded against us, and this time we weren’t given a penalty. The referees are treating us unfairly and disrespectfully," Benatia said.

In the next round, "Marseille" will face England’s "Newcastle" team.
