Bayern Munich star lays into João Pinheiro after huge ex-Benfica blunder | OneFootball

João Pinheiro’s refereeing in the match between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain is causing major controversy in Germany, following the harsh criticism voiced by the Bavarian club’s CEO. This match qualified João Neves and Gonçalo Ramos for the Champions final.

especially in an incident involving Nuno Mendes and also in an alleged penalty by João Neves, situations that sparked intense protests on the pitch.

After the final whistle, it was Jan-Christian Dreesen who publicly expressed the German club’s displeasure, making a statement laden with irony about the appointment of the Portuguese referee for a match of this magnitude in Europe’s top club competition.

“It is, at the very least, surprising that a referee with only 15 Champions League appearances can officiate a game like this. And that perhaps explains certain decisions”, said the Bayern executive, as quoted by German TV channel Sky.

The Bavarian CEO’s words are already causing a huge stir on social media and in the international press, on a night when João Pinheiro once again found himself in the spotlight after another highly disputed European refereeing performance.
