“I hope they have a look at what happened and that this gentleman goes home just like we are.”

Herrera has absolutely nothing to complain about. Robben drew three penalties in the match and only one of them was awarded. His team had no answer for Robben, played with fire in its own box all day long and deserved its fate.
