Protests against the referee of Real Madrid vs Manchester City

Portuguese referee Artur Dias will officiate the match between Real Madrid, Spain, and Manchester City, England. An administration that the City fans are looking forward to, because they know the Portuguese rule well, and there was a great controversy between them previously.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, Real Madrid will host Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which is titled by the Spanish team.

Since the announcement of the Portuguese referee, City fans have begun to express their anger because they remember Dias well since the last match he refereed for the team in October 2022 in the Champions League, which ended in a goalless draw with FC Copenhagen.

The most famous Portuguese referee, the 43-year-old, was the direct red card for City full-back Sergio Gomez in the match, and he also canceled a goal for Rodri due to a handball on Riyad Mahrez that was captured by video technology.

However, the Portuguese referee had awarded a penalty kick to Manchester City in the same match, but Riyad Mahrez missed it.

Despite the exciting match that Dias managed for City last time, the English team won two of the three matches that Arthur ruled for them.
