Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off on his Champions League debut for Juventus against Valencia. Felix Brych, who gave red card, was once suspended in FIFA world cup for bad refereeing and unfair decisions.
This summer, the German referee has been told by FIFA that he will not be used again at this World Cup after having made just one appearance at the tournament, the Group E match between Serbia and Switzerland.
Serbia lodged a complaint with football's world governing body FIFA after they felt they should have been awarded a penalty in their 2-1 defeat in Kaliningrad.
Brych waved play on after Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic appeared to have been wrestled to the ground by both Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schär. The Munich native stood by his on-field decision and controversially opted not to make use of the video assistant review system.
"The course of the World Cup is of course a bitter disappointment for me and my team. But life goes on and we'll be back," Brych said.

Now, this time UEFA should take legal action against FEILX BRYCH. Not only him, if strong action won't be taken then lots of bad refereeing will continue in champions league. These two incidents are enough to blame FEILX BRYCH

Oh well..then its okay to say C.Ronaldo was unlucky to have him officiate his debut champions league match with Juventus. Glad this didn't happen in the semis or even the final!

After draging a player down you try to pull him up by his hair.
