Spanish media said Inter Barcelona referee is a lucky star of the Blue and Black Army? No! He is the only one who has been eliminated in the Champions League in the past three years.

Before starting this article's discussion, let's talk about the off-topic topic.

Everyone knows that I am studying in engineering at university. After graduation, the teacher who devoted himself to the media industry and tutored the basics of journalism for me. The first lesson was: I must learn to distinguish "narrative tricks".

When reporting an event, if you selectively avoid talking and ignore some facts, it will affect readers' judgment.

For example: A media reported that "A official car in a certain place hit a pedestrian and left." Then it spent a lot of space to describe how miserable the pedestrian was.

But the fact is that this "business vehicle" is a fire truck, and he honked his whistle all the way to rescue the disaster. And this "peedy man" suddenly rushed out of the road at the red light...

It can be seen that when talking about something, even if you don't spread rumors and just deliberately avoid talking about some key details, it may completely change the matter.

This is "narrative trick". Before the second leg of the Champions League semi-final match between Inter Milan and Barcelona, ​​Catalan media Daily Sports and World Sports were hyping up. The referee Mazinac on duty was a "suspected Real Madrid fan" and a "Barcelona nemesis". He is likely to be inclined to Inter Milan, which may be a "narrative trick."

The fact is: Mazinac enforced the law and has 5 Champions League games, with Barcelona winning 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, and 2 of them are Barcelona playing against Inter Milan (one is 1-1 in the 18-19 season, and the other is 3-3 in the 2022-23 season).

In these games, some of the referees' penalty was controversial (such as the flying tackle of Carhanolu was not dyed red).

On social media, fans posted pictures of the referee owning Real Madrid supplies, trying to say that he is a Real Madrid fan.

Barcelona mouthpiece media, so they produced various video highlights on major social media, and hyped them up wildly. For a time, many people who have insufficient information began to feel that having such a referee to call the game is a great benefit for Inter Milan! The fact is: this 44-year-old Polish referee cannot be regarded as a "Bassford Star". However, if he is said to be a "Inter Milan lucky star", it is purely contrary to the facts. Maziniak is the absolute "Inter Milan disaster star". He won 7 Champions League games with France Milan (2 other European League games), and only won 1 game in 7 matches (beating Slavia Prague on November 2019 3-1). In the past three years, Inter Milan's Champions League dream battle was all his enforcement.

In the 2021-22 season, Inter Milan lost to Liverpool in two rounds in the Champions League 1/8 finals and was eliminated. Maziniak's main bet on the home game, and Inter Milan lost 0-2. The referee was replaced in the away game, and Inter Milan won 1-0 at Anfield. In the 2022-23 season, Inter Milan entered the Champions League final, and the winning rate was actually quite high.

But that season, Maziniak called Inter Milan three games, with the Nerazzurri drawings and 1 loss without a single victory, including Inter Milan losing to Manchester City in the Champions League final. In the 2023-24 season, Maziniak only called Inter Milan for one Champions League, which was the game when Inter Milan lost to Atletico Madrid away and was eventually eliminated by the Beds Team.

In summary, Maziniak called Inter Milan in the Champions League, and the Nerazzurri won 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses in 7 games. As a referee who has played Inter Milan's three Champions League dreams in the past three years, however, Western media described him as a "Inter Milan lucky star"? Isn't this a bit funny? !

Personally, I believe that the Catalan media focused on the referee's candidates before the game, and described the referee in a long and long way to describe the referee that made Barcelona suffer some losses, but never mentioned that the referee was also an Inter Milan nightmare, which is a "narrative trick" that hides key arguments.

Obviously, the Barcelona mouthpiece media is putting pressure on the referee team, which is a strategy.

The slap in the game was a vicious fight, which made the Polish referee and his assistants feel tremendous pressure, which more or less affected his call in the game. If the referee can be forced under pressure and be a little cautious when refereeing Barcelona, ​​then the strategy will be considered effective.

Such a referee who can almost be called "Inter Milan's curse master" was described as "Inter Milan's lucky star"... It can be seen that when Barcelona faced Inter Milan, in addition to their age advantage, reputation advantage, financial advantage, and salary advantage, they also had a huge advantage: Barcelona has a mouthpiece media, but Inter Milan did not.

According to common sense, La Liga and Serie A teams are in the Champions League, and Spanish media shouting for the country's team, either making injustice or leading the wind, is their position determined by their position. At this time, Italian media should stand up and say some fairness, at least, they should not let the public opinion trend completely turn to the other side.

However, many Italian media have "positions", and some major newspapers are controlled by the consortium behind Inter Milan's arch rival team, so they have great malicious intentions towards Inter Milan. Inter Milan does not refer to Italian media in this regard.

In summary, the referee in the Battle of Inter Barcelona may not be the "Barcelona Foo", but he is definitely a "Inter Milan nemesis". This is the truth.

In the past three seasons, this referee has enforced the law when Inter Milan eliminated the Champions League. Let's see if this time, whether the Nerazzurri can change this situation. If Inter Milan can really advance, it will be considered a big "curse".
