At the final whistle of the semi-final between the French national team and Spain (0-2), Les Bleus lamented several unfavorable refereeing decisions. Rodri did the same.

The Manchester City midfielder also singled out the performance of Salvadoran referee Ivan Barton. According to Rodri, the referee was too lenient when it came to fouls on Lamine Yamal.

"This is the third match where we’ve had to deal with this kind of situation. We're talking about 10 or 15 uncalled fouls. And if you don't blow the whistle, defenders keep doing the same thing. The permissiveness is obvious. Especially in this match. But Lamine put in a great performance," the Spaniard told La 1.
