Now, a former referee has come out to confess something about that match, and the madridistas were quick to show their outrage on social networks. We are talking about Tony Chapron, a former French referee, who was talking to a French media outlet.
Days after the game, Unai Emery asked Tony Chapron what he thought of the decisions of his partner, Aytekin. 'He told me: Mr. Chapron, can you explain the referee's decisions to me?' I lied to Unai Emery, I told him I hadn't seen the game.
The controversial confession
Five years later, he no longer protects his partner, and admits that Aytekin was wrong: “I didn't want to admit to him, even if I thought about it, that the refereeing team was wrong that night. Surely it is what he would have liked to hear but it was not the time. So I didn't."
