On Radio Marca, former Spanish referee Andujar Oliver pointed out the mistakes of the referees in charge of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final at Bernabeu on April 18.

The referees were at fault in both situations when Real scored the first two goals in extra time. In the 105th minute, Ronaldo was in an offside position when receiving a long pass from Sergio Ramos, then equalized 2-2 for the home team, bringing the score after two matches to 4-3. |
 |
Five minutes later, in the situation to increase the score to 3-2 (5-3 over two matches), Ronaldo was also offside when he received the ball from Marcelo. |
 |
Before that, in the 52nd minute, in the situation leading to the penalty kick that Lewandowski successfully kicked to open the score in the second leg for Bayern, referee Kassai was also said to have interfered with Real. He only blew the penalty, but did not give Casemiro a card for his tackle on Robben in the 16m50 area. Real's defensive midfielder had previously received a yellow card in the 40th minute, and if he received another card in the situation leading to the penalty, Real would lose a man and the match scenario could very well have gone in a different direction. |

The referees were again lenient with Casemiro and Real in another clash between the Brazilian defensive midfielder and Robben in the 80th minute. "Casermiro should have been shown a second yellow card for that foul on Robben. He clearly kicked Robben, and he didn't deserve to stay on the pitch until the end of the game," former referee Andujar Oliver told Radio Marca. |

Also according to Oliver, the referees yesterday made mistakes in two situations involving Arturo Vidal, who received a second yellow card and was sent off in the 84th minute. "In the 48th minute, Vidal stopped Casemiro without intending to hit the ball. That's when he should have been sent off," commented the Radio Marca expert. |
 |
In the situation where Vidal disputed with Marco Asensio and received an indirect red card in the 84th minute, referee Kassai made a wrong assessment. "The move that caused the Chilean player to receive a second yellow card was not worth it, because he hit the ball. The Hungarian referee was completely wrong," Oliver commented. |
