“The referee overreacted”
In remarks relayed by FootMercato, Cristiano Ronaldo delivered his vision of refereeing after the huge defeat of his team. “It was a very good first half, I think it was a first half where we dominated. And then there are the pre-season matches. The referee overreacted in the second half and I think he completely ruined the game. It was supposed to be a more contested game, like in the first half, but that sending off killed the game and when it does, it’s difficult because the team has weakened a lot”.
“It ruined the game”
Cristiano Ronaldo continues: “As you know, playing 10 is difficult. I think the referee overreacted a bit by sending off a player, which ruined the game. If it’s a shock or a violent tackle, I understand. (…) I know there are rules, but it’s a preparation match and from there, it ruined the match. But what sticks in our minds is the first half, where we were better than Celta.”
