Portuguese Referee Luís Godinho Posts Liverpool Anthem After Controversial Audio Leak
Portuguese referee Luís Godinho sparked debate by posting a portion of Liverpool's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' on social media hours after explosive audios from Pedro Proença, a prominent refereeing figure, were leaked online. The audios reportedly discuss national refereeing and discipline issues. An internet user questioned the timing of Godinho's post, to which he replied 'This is the moment!' The article also covers related refereeing controversies, including FIFA's denial of VAR errors in a mistaken identity case at the 2026 World Cup involving referee João Pinheiro, and IFAB's clarification on the rule. Liga Portugal has declined to comment on the Proença audios, referring to its known position.
