In Manchester City's match against Arsenal, referee Atwell made three controversial decisions. After the match, Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale criticized the referee, saying that the red card and penalty award made him "very confused".
The Arsenal goalkeeper said, "It's hard to accept, but you have to accept it, that's it. I don't think most teams play that way against Manchester City. The red card changed the game and we were so close. We'll keep going, and there's one more big semi-final. ”
"There were two penalty shootout controversies and I don't know why the referee went to see one but didn't look at the other. There should be a reason to go to the slow motion, the point is to help the game, at that time it was one thing to watch, watching the slow motion was another, and it was often awarded a penalty. ”
As for the red card that Gabriel received, Rumsdale also expressed his dissatisfaction, "I was confused, I didn't see him get the first yellow card. This red card changed the game and I think it was too harsh.
With just 10 men left most of the time, we did a good job defending. Rodri was lucky with his last-minute goal, but his shot was beautiful. ”
Rodri had a different view, "The penalty we got was undisputed. As for the first controversy, I had doubts at first, but after watching the slow motion, it became clear. ”
"Small details changed the game. Gabriel made a big mistake when he got a second yellow card. We were smart, we didn't get a lot of opportunities, but we were efficient. ”
