Porto went on the offensive again this Wednesday, March 4, to criticize the refereeing of the Classic against Sporting - which ended in a victory for the lions, 1-0 -, using social media to point the finger at Cláudio Pereira's performance.
In a video published by the dragons, the club recalls two old incidents involving Pepe that ended with a red card for the then Porto central defender. The images are compared with two moments involving forward Luis Suárez in the Classic played on Tuesday.
In the post, Porto makes a direct criticism of the refereeing's disciplinary criteria, writing in the video's caption: “Criteria: color of the card according to the color of the jersey”. It is worth noting that André Villas-Boas even mentioned that the dragons will file a complaint against the Colombian international.
With the victory in the Classic – the 30th in 40 matches this season –, the team led by Rui Borges remains ahead in the tie, but they will still have to play the second leg at Estádio do Dragão. The match is scheduled for April 22.
