Borussia Dortmund star Can furious with referees over Man City handball penalty

Borussia Dortmund star Emre Can does not believe he should have given away a penalty against Manchester City.

Dortmund were 1-0 up in the second leg at home, before Can headed a ball onto the upper part of his arm, resulting in a penalty for the visitors.

City went on to win the game 2-1, and the tie 4-2 on aggregate, as they progress into the semi finals.

"All in all, that was okay. In the end, that doesn't really help us either. The game clearly changed after the 1-1 draw," the ex-Liverpool and Juventus player said to Sky Germany.

"I touched the ball first with my head and then it somehow hit my hand. The rules say it's not a handball.

"To have received a penalty against us because of that and maybe because of that, to have lost the game leaves a bitter taste. A goal was stolen from us in the first leg. It hurts."
