Laporta expressed his discontent stating, "The refereeing in Getafe was a disgrace. Not calling that penalty on Koundé is a scandal. A proper scandal."
The quality and inconsistencies of refereeing in the English game remain a significant concern, especially highlighted by controversial decisions during high-stakes matches.
"I think every coaching room feels that they are hard done by, especially when they lose... For me, all I can do is go through the channels which are available to me."
