"Marcus Rashford expressed his frustration with the refereeing, stating, "It's clear to me: it's a penalty. It's happened before and it's always been given. I don't understand the decision." He emphasized that common sense dictates it was a penalty, reflecting the reactions of both teams."
"Rashford further remarked, "People talk about common sense, but common sense itself tells you it's a penalty. Our reaction reflects that, but so does that of their own players. That counts too." He highlighted the difficulty in accepting decisions that go against one's team."
"He also noted, "I've been in similar situations in matches where the decision was a penalty. Ultimately, it's hard not to complain when the decision goes against you." Rashford's comments underline the frustration felt by Barcelona players regarding the officiating."
