Almeida Blasts UEFA After Atleti Exit

Madrid mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida has accused UEFA of predetermined bias against Atlético de Madrid following their Champions League semifinal elimination to Arsenal.

Mayor Almeida claimed Atlético was playing against UEFA rather than Arsenal, citing controversial refereeing decisions including a denied penalty to Giuliano Simeone and a conflict of interest with German referee Daniel Seibert.

The mayor expressed outrage over the choice of Seibert while Spain and Germany compete for a Champions League spot, and criticized the amount of stoppage time added, suggesting the referee wanted Arsenal to advance. mwafrika.life
