Hayes: Chelsea robbed by ‘worst decision in Champions League history’

Emma Hayes is really upset about what happened in the game between Chelsea and Barcelona. She said the referee’s decision to send off Kadeisha Buchanan was the worst ever in the history of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

Buchanan got two yellow cards in just four minutes during the second half of the game at Stamford Bridge. This happened as Chelsea lost 2-0, throwing away their 1-0 lead from the first leg.

Aitana Bonmati scored a goal that took a deflection, and Fridolina Rolfo scored a penalty, knocking Chelsea out of the competition. Emma Hayes has been chasing the Champions League trophy for 12 years with Chelsea, and this loss really hurts her dreams.

She was angry about the referee, who is from Romania, and even said that Barcelona’s players admitted they got help from the officials to win. Emma Hayes believes the referee’s decisions were wrong, and it ruined their chances.

She also felt that Buchanan’s red card changed the whole game. Before that, Chelsea was playing well and had even hit the post. But after the red card, everything went downhill.

Despite her team’s loss, Hayes praised Barcelona, especially player Lucy Bronze. But she couldn’t help but express her frustration at the unfairness of it all.

Hayes knows her criticism might cause trouble, but she doesn’t care. She believes it’s important to speak up when something isn’t right.

In the end, Chelsea’s Champions League dreams were shattered once again, and Barcelona moves forward to defend their title. It’s a tough pill to swallow for Emma Hayes and her team.
