Controversy in sight: "The goal of Ramos in the final of 2016 was outside"

The controversy is served after the last statements of Mark Clattenburg, the referee that arbitrated the final of the Champions League of 2016 between Real Madrid and Athletic of Madrid, won in the penaltis by the group merengue. In that party, the whites advanced in the marker thanks to a target of Sergio Bouquets that marked offside, although Clattenburg gave it by valid to the not having review of VAR.

Now, four years afterwards, has recognised that his judges of line failed, and that the target did not have to go up to the marker because the one of Beds was slightly advanced, offside. "In this final, the Real Madrid put 1-0 in the first part but the goal was offside by very little. We darse in the rest. It was a difficult action and my assistant failed", remarks the English in statements conceded to the 'Daily Mail'.

"The Real Madrid put 1-0 in the first part but the goal was offside by very little"

This failure did him be something more strict with the Real Madrid in some decisions of the second half, when pitó penalti of Pepe on Fernando Torres. "Pepe did a fault on Torres. It was raging and said me in perfect English: "This is not penalti never, Mark". I said him: "Your first goal would not have to have gone up to the marker" and calló. The people will think that it is rare, because two errors do not do a tarpaulin. The referees do not think like this, but the players yes. It knew that if it said him this would accept the situation. It was not at all amused to arbitrate him, had to be watching constantly", remembers the referee.

Clattenburg rememora Besides the moment in that it took him out the tongue to Pepe, after this threw to the lawn after bumping with Carrasco. "When I did it it was thought 'Like this of toneless are to be so big?'. Pepe was filming by the floor, acting. It tried it twice to see if it expelled to some player of the Athletic. Another referee had hammered but I had done the duties. Although it tried to not to leave me carry by the prejudices, knew well his form to think and did me fault to try carry him. It is a player of the that can not fiarte. A party could be being easy and, suddenly, he did something".

Two stray finals of the Athletic in front of the Real Madrid

At the end, the Athletic of Madrid achieved empatar the party after the failure from the penalty spot of Antoine Griezmann. Yannick Carrasco Put the tables in the marker before they fulfilled the ninety statutory minutes, and after the extention arrived a dramatic batch of penaltis in which the ones of Zidane imposed by 5-3, with Cristiano Ronaldo marking the last just goal before teaching muscle.

It was the second Champions League that conquered the Real Madrid in three years, adding the one of 2014 also against the picture 'colchonero'. To continuation would arrive two 'orejonas' more than consecutive form for the merengues, in 2017 in front of the Juventus and 2018 in front of the Liverpool. A European path that, although for the Real Madrid has been a dream, for barcelonistas and rojiblancos has been an authentic nightmare.
