Mark Clattenburg calls for revolutionary change in football after Real Madrid 3-1 Man City
Former referee Mark Clattenburg has called for a revolutionary change in football following Real Madrid’s 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Madrid completed one of the most extraordinary turnarounds in recent years with two dramatic late goals through Rodrygo.
The tie subsequently went to extra-time and Karim Benzema fired his side through to the Champions League final with his 15th goal of this season’s competition.
Rodrygo scored his crucial second goal of the night during the six minutes of stoppage-time that were added at the end of normal time.
That only three minutes of stoppage-time were added at the end of a stop-start 30-minute period of extra-time, though, came as a surprise to many.
And there was further controversy when referee Daniele Orsato blew his whistle before the full three minutes were up.
9 seconds early and he couldn't have seemed happier to blow that whistle
