Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has criticised FC Barcelona following their Champions League exit to Atlético Madrid.
Reacting to the quarter-final second leg, Mikel dismissed Barcelona’s complaints about officiating and instead pointed to their performance on the pitch.
He also praised Ademola Lookman for his decisive role in the match that secured Atletico’s progression to the semi-finals.
“Atletico Madrid had it. Ademola Lookman stepped up and decided the Champions League match, while Barcelona players were busy shaking hands with the referee as if he was going to change the score for them,” Mikel said.
