A TOP bookmaker in England has reacted strongly to the astonishing refereeing in the Champions League semi-final.
Paddy Power wasted no time in pledging to refund bets placed on Chelsea to win the encounter and to qualify for the Champions League final.
Chelsea, who were on course for a Champions League final repeat with Manchester United, were seemingly denied at least four penalty appeals and then lost out after an injury-time e winning strike from Barcelona's Andres Iniesta.
Paddy Power said: 'The refereeing in tonight's match was disgraceful and we're not going to let our punters suffer because of that nonsense.
