'Worst decision in history': Emma Hayes hits out at refs after Barcelona win semi-final

Emma Hayes said her Chelsea team were on the wrong end of the “worst decision in Women’s Champions League history” as Barcelona advanced to the final following a controversial tie at Stamford Bridge.
Hayes believed Chelsea were “robbed” after the referee Iuliana Demetrescu sent off defender Kadeisha Buchanan for a second yellow card early in the second half, with the semi-final tie in the balance on aggregate following Chelsea’s narrow victory in Spain last week.
Barcelona were then awarded a late penalty when Aitana Bonmati was brought down by a combination of Jess Carter and Ashley Lawrence - a decision Hayes said was “equally soft” - and Fridolina Rolfo converted to send Barcelona through to the Bilbao final and a shot at a third title in four years.

Hayes seems to be _lying_ when she claims referee Demetrescu "is know for easy cards".
Demetrescu's career as referee in the UWCL has seen _lower_ than average amount of cards given.
The average is 2.63 yellow cards per game.
Over 18 matches in four seasons, Demetrescu has awarded 44 yellow cards, which amounts to an average of 2.44
Demetrescu has officiated Chelsea once before - giving out precisely no cards whatsoever.
The stats do not support any of her sore loser complaints.
