—
Barcelona forward Raphinha has criticized the refereeing after Barcelona’s quarterfinal elimination against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Raphinha didn’t play because of a hamstring injury.
He also gestured toward Atletico fans after the game, apparently indicating that the team will be eliminated in the next round.
He also made a “robbed” sign with his hands toward the crowd at the Metropolitano stadium.
Barcelona won 2-1 on Tuesday but that wasn't enough to overcome a 2-0 loss at home last week.
Raphinha said the series “was robbed.”
