Emery: If he uses the same criteria, I want same referee as Madrid first leg
The PSG coach was not happy with some of te decisions at the Bernaebu
"By that I mean that there is an advantage for whoever is playing at home"
Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery says he wants the same leg for thhe second leg of his side's Champions League tie against Real Madrid as the first... as long as he uses the same criteria for the home side.
Madrid came from behind to beat PSG 3-1 on Tuesday, but the French side felt a number of decision didn't go in their favour.
After taking the lead, PSG saw Madrid equalise when Giovani Lo Celso was deemed to have pulled back Toni Kroos in the area, while the Ligue 1 leaders had their own penalty appeal turned down when Sergio Ramos appeared to handle the ball.
"If we're applying the same rules as in the Bernabeu, then I want the same referee for the return leg," Emery said in a press conference before the weekend's match with Strasbourg.
"I'll be happy if we get the same referee using the same criteria to make his decisions -- by that I mean that there is an advantage for whoever is playing at home.
"What I am saying is not subjective. On Real's second goal, there was an offside that was not flagged up and whistled for.
"Conversely, I watched Lyon play against Villarreal and I found the refereeing to be quite balanced. There were favourable and unfavourable decisions for and against Lyon."
