AC Milan's match against Atlético Madrid, where they lost 2-1 at the San Siro in a frustrating manner is still the talk of media. The referee, Cuneyt Cakir had handled the match poorly. But, it was not just him, the referee in charge of VAR, his compatriot, Abdulkadir Bitigen, did not intervene when a non-existent penalty was awarded to the Spanish team.
FIFA stops VAR referee Bitigen but not Cakir...
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's edition, Cunyet Cakir is ready to return to officiate games as he has been chosen to be in charge of Germany - Romania in a World Cup Qualification match.
The newspaper reports that for these qualifiers for the World Cup, it's FIFA who appoint the referees and not UEFA. They have decided to stop Abdulkadir Bitigen. But Cakir's mistakes have gone unnoticed.
