The Italian press, more specifically the newspaper "Tuttosport", has put on the warpath against the UEFA and the attendant of the designation of the referees, his compatriot Pierluigi Collina. According to this newspaper, Collina would have designated mediocre "referees" for the parties FC Barcelona-Athletic of Madrid and Bayern of Munich-Benfica, something that has had like different consequence referee's controversies.

Still angered by the "rob" that they did him to the Juventus of Turín in the eighth in front of the ones of Pep Guardiola, "Tuttosport" shot to discretion: "Juve, dress the of the Bayern? The referees of Collina do another gift". Some words referred to the controversy desatada first by the referees Atkinson and Eriksson in the two meetings of eighth of the team bianconero and where the piamonteses were clearly prejudiced.

On the meetings of this past Tuesday, the half transalpino affirmed that the two referees of the parties of the Champions "masacraron" to Athletic of Madrid and to Benfica. Something that attribute to the, say, incompetence of Collina in the designation of referees: "One of two: or the referees that sends Collina are mediocre or the one who designates them is not conscious of the mediocrity".

Centring in the party of the FC Barcelona, sustained that the red to Fernando Torres was unfair and that the leading blaugrana Luis Suárez had to have been expelled, to finish with a message of support to the Athletic: "we understand You Cholo. But this explains with few words: it suffices with Collina to designate the referees".
