Barcelona manager Hansi Flick expressed his frustration with Polish referee Szymon Marciniak after his team’s 4-3 loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final second leg on Tuesday.

Flick, visibly disappointed, felt that Marciniak favored Inter Milan in every 50/50 decision throughout the match at San Siro. The game ended 3-3 after 90 minutes, with goals from Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and Francesco Acerbi, sending the match into extra time. However, Inter’s Davide Fratessi found the back of the net in extra time, sealing their place in the final.

“We were really good in the second half, and I don’t want to focus too much on the referee, but every 50/50 decision went in their favor,” Flick said in his post-match interview. “We gave everything we had, but in the end, that’s how it went, and it made me a bit sad.”

Although Flick chose not to discuss the specifics of his conversation with Marciniak, he did make it clear that he had already shared his thoughts with the referee privately. Barcelona now shifts focus to their upcoming La Liga clash against Real Madrid in the El Clasico this Sunday.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has admitted his team lacked the needed edge in the final third during their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on Friday night. Marc Cucurella’s first-half header, set up by Reece James, was the difference at Stamford Bridge, handing United their 18th loss of the season and leaving them sitting 16th in the league.

Speaking after the match, Amorim said his side started well but just didn’t show enough aggression where it mattered most. “We approached the game the right way,” he said. “We had some bad luck and lost focus at key moments. We tried to press and push forward but just couldn’t finish.” Despite the loss, Amorim insisted the team was competitive. Up next, they’ll face Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
