On 30 March 2006, Batkov caused controversy when in the post-match interview following Levski Sofia's 1-3 home defeat against German side FC Schalke 04, he said that English people referee Mike Riley was a "British homosexual who broke the game!" (Bulgarian: "Този британски педераст развали мача!"), referring to the red card Riley gave to Sofia midfielder Cédric Bardon.
