Paris: Paris Saint-Germain have sent a letter of complaint to UEFA about the referee who oversaw their spectacular collapse to Barcelona, accusing him of ruining their Champions League campaign.
A source with knowledge of the letter confirmed Tuesday media reports about the dossier sent to UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin; UEFA said that it had received a letter from PSG, giving no details of its content.
The source told AFP that the letter was designed to "point out a series of errors" and "errors of judgement" by Aytekin.
Under-pressure PSG coach Unai Emery said in the aftermath of Barcelona's miracle revival from a 4-0 first-leg deficit: "We had chances to make it 3-2 and then the refereeing decisions, I don't know if they were right or not, but for sure they damaged us."
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was less forgiving.
"The outcome of the match could have been different with more clear-sighted officiating," he told Le Parisien newspaper at the weekend.
"Everyone saw that Angel Di Maria should have had a penalty that would have made the score 2-3 and kill any suspense. Not to mention that there was no penalty on (Luis) Suarez late in the game (which was awarded)."
