UEFA rejects Barcelona’s appeal: “It’s inadmissible”

NYON (SWITZERLAND) (ITALPRESS) – UEFA’s disciplinary body has deemed “inadmissible” the appeal filed by Barcelona regarding the penalty denied last week at Camp Nou, during the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Atlético Madrid.

Pubill had handled the ball after a pass from Juan Musso, but the referee ruled that play had not yet restarted. However, Barça claimed the gesture was punishable by a penalty, which led to the post-match outcry and the complaint to UEFA, which, however, had no effect.

Tottenham captain Romero out for rest of season with injury

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Bad news for Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur, who will have to try to secure relegation without their captain, former Genoa and Atalanta defender Cristian Romero. Injured in yesterday’s loss to Sunderland, the 27-year-old Argentine suffered a high-grade partial tear of the medial collateral ligament in his knee:

He’s expected to miss two months, the World Cup hangs in the balance, but above all he won’t be available for the final six matchdays of the Premier League, where Spurs are currently third-bottom, two points behind the relegation zone. Meanwhile, on the transfer front, negotiations are reportedly already well underway to sign Andy Robertson, a 32-year-old left-back on a free transfer, who will be having a fine season at Liverpool. Clearly, his salary is tied to Tottenham’s continued Premier League status.

Atletico Madrid, Simeone: “I’m thinking about the match, not the referees”

Atletico Madrid, Simeone: “I’m thinking about the match, not the referees”

MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Tomorrow, Atlético Madrid take to the pitch and build on their excellent 2-0 victory at Camp Nou. It was a resounding victory, but Barcelona struggled to swallow it, challenging the refereeing decisions to the point of filing a complaint with UEFA.

Diego Pablo Simeone is a football man, with plenty of experience, personality, and charisma, but he also knows how to be diplomatic when the issue threatens to be tricky, like the Catalans’ protest: “I’m thinking about the match and not the referees or anything else. The closer we get to the final, the more referees have to deal with enormous pressure, but I honestly don’t think about them.”

He’s thinking about his Atletico, about Oblak’s possible recovery (“I won’t talk about the lineup, I’ll announce it tomorrow at 7 pm at the hotel”) and he’s clear about what his team must do: “We know what we have to do and how we’ll try to achieve it. Our goal is to move forward, and we’ll play to ensure we continue our adventure. We know that Barcelona is a very strong rival and that we have the same goal.”

Social media abuse targets Brobbey, Sunderland and Premier League: “Unacceptable”

Social media abuse targets Brobbey, Sunderland and Premier League: “Unacceptable”

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Racism strikes again. The latest victim of online abuse is Brian Brobbey, Sunderland striker, who received racist insults on social media following the 1–0 victory over Tottenham, particularly after an incident involving a push on Romero, who then collided with his own goalkeeper and was reportedly injured.

According to British media, the insults are believed to have originated mainly from Argentina, but regardless of their source, Sunderland and the Premier League have united in condemning the incident.

The club highlighted the “constant and unacceptable frequency of this type of behavior. We have reported the abuse to the Premier League, social media platforms, and the police, and we expect immediate action against those responsible. We stand firmly alongside Brian and offer him our full and unconditional support. The recent abuse directed at Romaine Mundle and Lutsharel Geertruida highlights the unacceptable and persistent nature of this behavior, both inside stadiums and online. Racism is abhorrent and has no place in our sport or in society, and we will continue to call it out clearly and unapologetically whenever it occurs. Football must be a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, without exception.”

For its part, the Premier League stated: “We are disgusted by the ongoing discrimination that players suffer on social media. We are committed to working with clubs, authorities, law enforcement, and social media companies to tackle this issue, as well as supporting investigations to ensure those responsible are brought to justice. Any individual identified and found guilty of discrimination will face the strongest possible consequences, including prison sentences, stadium bans, and criminal sanctions.”
