Erling Haaland criticised the referee in Borussia Dortmund's 2-3 loss to Bayern Munich. It was an exciting game, but Dortmund ended up on the losing side.

Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund in 'Der Klassiker'. The Bavarians won at Signal Iduna Park in a game which ended 2-3, which, for Haaland, was decided by the referee's performance.

In comments after the game to 'Viaplay Football', the scorer of Dortmund's second goal was clear: "I think it was a scandal when it comes to the referee," he said.

Haaland seemed especially anger by a penalty decision which did not go in Dortmund's favour involving Lucas Hernandez: "It was a clear penalty on Reus. I said to the referee (Felix Zwayer): 'Why didn't you just go and look at the monitor?' and he said 'there's no need' like an arrogant... No, I have to calm myself a little."

In fact, he ended up retweeting a message against the match referee. The Norwegian shared a post from an accont which reports on Dortmund news and he added a thumb down. He later deleted it though.
