Emery: With a more balanced referee, we might have been able to win
He said Ramos should have given away a penalty for handball
PSG coach Unai Emery was not happy with Italian referee Gianluca Rocchi. The coach said: "It was a pity we didn't go into the break with the lead but these small actions from the referees did not help us.
"If you blow for the first penalty (a foul by Lo Celso on Kroos) you have to blow for handball (by Ramos in the box when the ball hit his arm) too."
He also highlighted a foul on Kimpembe not given before Ronaldo scored Madrid's second. "We were playing with the aim of scoring a second, we found another refereeing action, a possible foul before the 2-1.
"If the referee was more balanced with both teams we would have been close to a draw or even a victory.
"We leave with the idea that we played a great game, but we got a bad result. Playing like this we can come back, but if the refereeing decisions continue like this, it will be harder."
