Africa-Press – Mozambique. As the tension builds for the Champions League semi-final second leg between Barcelona and Inter Milan, the Catalan club has expressed serious concerns about the appointed referee, Szymon Marciniak.
Following a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg, Barça now faces what they perceive as an additional challenge: officiating. The Spanish media, particularly Mundo Deportivo, has criticized UEFA’s decision, highlighting what they claim are Marciniak’s past refereeing errors and hinting at a pro–Real Madrid bias.
Fueling the controversy, the Polish referee has come under scrutiny for a past incident where he was seen with Real Madrid-branded merchandise, raising suspicions among Barcelona supporters. Mundo Deportivo also recalled his controversial performance during a Madrid derby earlier this season, where a clear penalty for Atlético’s Julian Alvarez was allegedly ignored. With so much at stake, Barça fans fear that questionable officiating could influence the outcome.
