'They've caused us serious harm' - Barcelona explain reason for Champions League referee complaint
"We wanted to file a formal complaint with UEFA regarding the tie that eliminated us from the Champions League. These are serious errors that we wanted to convey in this statement, which are very well explained and which we believe do not comply with the rules of football."
"We are also approaching this from a constructive perspective. Despite the elimination, we wanted to express to UEFA that things need to be done better. We believe that, nowadays, with six members of the officiating crew in a match, so many errors are unacceptable."
