El midfielder ingls Declan Rice lost his nerve after the elimination of the West Ham in the UEFA Europa League semi-final against unity and ended up berating the Spanish referee Gil Manzano in the locker room tunnel: “Referee, referee, you had such a poor night. You were very bad, how could you do it so bad? Honestly, they could have paid you. Damn corruption!”assure.
One of the refereeing decisions that marked the game in the Deutsche Bank Park was the expulsion of the West Ham defender, Aaron Cresswellin the 18th minute. The Spanish referee gave the defender a yellow card for a foul that cut off a clear hand-to-hand, the full-back being the last player in action. The VAR called Gil Manzano and after the review ended up showing Cresswell a red card.
