Atalanta reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, but this season they fell on the first step. Simply put, Real Madrid was too strong. In the first game Real Madrid celebrated 0: 1 as a guest to record a more convincing victory against Atalanta 3: 1 tonight. But there are controversial situations in this match as well. Recall, in the first game, everyone remembers the controversial red card for the Atalanta player. The Italians started a fire during and after the match as they were damaged. But the ‘Kings’ still came away with the win towards the end of the match. And now the Dutch referee, Danny Makkelie, has made an incredible decision in the first part of the match between Real Madrid and Atalanta.
Namely, we saw a time of 44:59 on the screen, and the main referee of the match gave the signal for the end of the first half! And to make matters worse, Atalanta had a chance through Muriel who was supposed to rush in front of goalkeeper Courtois, but it still didn’t happen. Immediately after the referee's whistle on Twitter, one could see thousands of angry comments about how the referee 'again' helped Real Madrid. The Champions League is really special.
