The British referee has acknowledged that in the 2015-16 Champions League final he wanted to make up for his mistake in the Real Madrid goal by whistling a penalty for the rojiblancos. Thus, he made a mistake for each side to balance.
Mark Clattenburg has coached two particularly important games throughout his career. The first was the derby between meringues and colchoneros in San Siro, where the whites prevailed in San Siro to lift their eleventh continental crown. The second, weeks later, was the final of the European Championship where Portugal beat France in extra time.
Being the moment of greatest consideration for the referee born in Consett, his assistant did not see a clear offside by Sergio Ramos in the 15th minute of the match, which served to overtake the meringues on their way to the title. After watching the action during the break, in the first minute of the second half he pointed out a penalty from Képler Laveran “Pepe” over Fernando Torres.
This action has been recognized as a compensatory decision by Mark Clattenburg himself. At the time it did not affect the result, since Antoine Griezmann sent the ball to the crossbar. It would be Yannick Ferreira Carrasco who tied in the 79th minute. The stake went to extra time, where Juan Francisco “Juanfran” Torres was the only one to miss in his execution.
