🤯 Must watch what I say: Bundesliga stars slam referees

Bundesliga stars have criticized referees for issuing a multitude of penalties during a match between SV Elversberg and FC Augsburg. In this game, referee Florian Exner awarded no fewer than four penalties, two during play and two more following VAR intervention. One of these penalties was later overturned after a review of the footage.

Additionally, a goal by Elversberg player Raif Adam was disallowed due to a VAR review in the 79th minute. The confusion and frustration resulting from these decisions left fans, coaches, and players feeling bewildered.

Augsburg's Robin Fellhauer expressed his disbelief, stating, "I've never experienced a game like this either, where decisions are rarely made on the pitch and help from outside is always needed. That speaks volumes." Elversberg defender Lasse Günther echoed this sentiment, admitting, "I can't even remember everything that happened.

I'll have to watch the highlights on TV, because so much happened that I've forgotten half of it." Lukas Petkov, another Elversberg player, added, "I no longer even knew which way was up or what the hell was going on" due to the wild nature of the match.

Despite the win, Elversberg coach Vincent Wagner was not satisfied with the official's performance, acknowledging that the game "certainly was interesting" after the final whistle. The record for the most penalties in a single match has not been broken, standing since 1965 when BVB won 5-4 over Gladbach with five spot-kicks.
