Malaga president Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Thani has accused UEFA of being "corrupt" after his club's defeat at Borussia Dortmund.
Al Thani, who also posted pictures on Twitter of the offside decisions that had gone against his side as Dortmund scored their match-winning goal, was not the only person bitterly upset by Malaga's defeat. Veteran winger Joaquin Sanchez, whose 25th-minute strike from the edge of the area had put Malaga ahead, also hit out at UEFA and their president Michel Platini, telling Spanish radio station Cadena SER: "We suspect Platini and all of them there. Because we are Malaga and not Real Madrid, it's easier to do this with us. "We're very hurt because we didn't deserve to go out in this way. "We saw the footage of the goals after the game. Something like this shouldn't happen at this stage of the game, but of course, we are Malaga..." Coach Manuel Pellegrini said after seeing his team's fairytale Champions League debut campaign end: "There was no refereeing in the last seven minutes. "Our players were being elbowed and pushed all over the place. Two of their players should have been given a red card and there was a double offside for their third goal. "It was extremely difficult to regain possession under these conditions. We're all extremely bitter at the outcome."
