text: Atletico Madrid centre back Miranda has lambasted Serbian referee Milorad Mazic following his side's Champions League encounter against Real Madrid. The Brazil international criticised Mazic's display after the goalless draw at the Vicente Calderon and questioned why officials from 'minor leagues' were able to referee such a high-profile clash. Miranda and his Atletico Madrid team-mates were left riled when Mazic, who refereed at the 2014 World Cup, failed to punish Sergio Ramos for what appeared to be an elbow on Mario Mandzukic. Miranda was far from happy with Milorad Mazic's performance during Atletico's Champions League clash . The Brazil defender has said officials from 'lower leagues' should not be allowed to referee high-profile games . Mario Mandzukic makes a point to referee Mazic after being cut by an elbow from Sergio Ramos . 'I won't talk about the referee, but I think referees from minor leagues should not be in charge of this kind of game,' Miranda told AS. 'We had chances to win but Madrid also had theirs. We had a very bad first half and we were better in the second. 'Now we have to go get the win [in the second leg]. It's a tough game and we will go for the win. We can qualify by scoring a goal.' Miranda is not the only Atletico Madrid star to hit out at Mazic as team-mate Mario Suarez has also taken a swipe at the Serbian official. Suarez expressed his frustration after the game, saying on Spanish TV: 'The referee is very bad. They can't use a Serbian referee for these type of games, with all my respect. 'I hope that in the return leg they pick a better referee.' Mario Suarez has also blasted the performance of referee Mazic after being booked on Tuesday night .
