"That's not worthy of a world-class club. To react like that after a match in which the referee did a good job. Against Hoffenheim, that decided the match because it happened after ten minutes. They say nothing about that in their statement. And a world-class club lodges a protest against a yellow-red card where the player is trying to win a penalty."
Bayern Munich's leadership publicly criticized referee Christian Dingert following the team's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. Dingert issued two red cards and disallowed three goals, two of which belonged to Bayern Munich. Pundit Didi Hamann defended the referee's performance, stating that Bayern Munich's complaints were unbecoming of a world-class club and noting the team remained silent about a controversial call against Hoffenheim that occurred early in that match. Hamann specifically criticized Bayern Munich's protest regarding a yellow-red card where the player attempted to draw a penalty. Despite Hamann's defense, several officiating decisions in the Leverkusen match were questionable, suggesting that standards for game officials require improvement.
