Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has made a shocking admission, revealing that there’s one particular match involving Liverpool he wishes he could officiate again.
Clattenburg confessed that during the game, “every major decision seemed to go Liverpool’s way,” and that the controversy surrounding those calls had lasting consequences for his career. The experienced referee admitted the fallout from that match led to him being kept away from officiating several of Liverpool’s rival clubs for nearly six years.
While Clattenburg didn’t name the exact fixture, his comments have reignited debates among fans and pundits about refereeing consistency and the immense pressure that comes with officiating high-stakes Premier League games.
The former referee concluded by saying he has learned valuable lessons from that experience — but still regards it as one of the toughest moments of his career.
