Officiating has been awful in a lot of games, both CL and EPL.

It feels especially bad this year.
It's been bad for awhile. It's an impossible job.

Soccer is still stuck in the 20th century. A field 120 yards by 70 yards officiated by 1 ref and 2 assistants and no replay. It's not humanly possible to see 22 players up to no good. 1 billion people around the world within a nanosecond know it's the wrong call and are never able to help out the ref.

Think about NFL which has 7 officials + replay on a smaller playing surface.
