The German referee, Felix Brych, only showed the yellow card to the players’ astonishment.

This did not help the French Griezmann, who was subjected to a red card in the meeting between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, after a dangerous game in which the Brazilian Firmino was the victim, as the Brazilian was injured in the face, which called on the referee to announce the red card.

Horrific this by Griezmann, could’ve really hurt Firmino.
