Marseille have lodged a protest with UEFA regarding the calibre of officiating in their Champions League qualification loss to Panathinaikos.
The French team were eliminated in a penalty shoot-out after a series of disputed judgements. In the first leg, Geoffrey Kondogbia was sent off, and their opponents were awarded a late penalty in the return fixture to equalise after a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang double had put Marseille within minutes of going through. According toMarseille took issue with a number of rulings in the second leg,reports.
They include the granting of a penalty, which Fotis Ioannidis converted in the ninth minute of stoppage time to force extra time and, ultimately, a penalty shootout.The first of the Ligue 1 side's penalty kicks was missed by Matteo Guendouzi, with their opponents converting five out of five to advance. Marseille are thought to be upset that Panathinaikos' penalty was awarded following a VAR check after their own previous appeal was denied.
