Barcelona forward Raphinha launched a scathing attack on the refereeing in their Champions League quarter-final tie as his side were knocked out 3-2 on aggregate by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, having finished both legs with 10 men, Reuters reported. 

The Brazilian, sidelined through injury for both matches, accused referees Clement Turpin, who officiated the second game, and Istvan Kovacs, from the first, of "robbing" his team.

"As far as I'm concerned, it was a robbery, not just this match but the other one (the first leg) as well," Raphinha told reporters after Barca's 2-1 win on the night was not enough.
