Back to EpisodesBarcelona Fights for Grass Edge in Champions League Showdown
Description
Barcelona, down two goals to Atletico Madrid, files a complaint with UEFA about the grass length at Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. The Catalans fear the longer grass will hinder their possession game and comeback hopes. UEFA rules state the pitch must not exceed three centimeters high, and it will be cut if necessary before kickoff. Barcas coach Hansi Flick and players have also expressed concerns about refereeing in the first leg, but UEFA dismissed their protest. UEFA assures Barcas sporting director, Deco, that the grass will be measured and trimmed if needed for Tuesdays crucial match.
