“I don’t see any hands anywhere. If there’s no clear hand, don’t whistle, that’s what they told us. The referee invented the hand. It’s like that. If we sell the LaLiga product and we have this, it doesn’t help anyone… It’s an accumulation of things, they let them play, they whistle against us… (…) It’s normal that people don’t want to watch anymore of football.

He should already be suspended for two games due to his ejection in the second period, after being quite aggressive with the fourth referee. It could take even more in the event that the Spanish Federation, which does not allow anything to pass at this level, decides to file a complaint with its competition committee. Recently, several coaches have recently taken two to four games of suspension for having strongly criticized the referees, and everything indicates that the Catalan manager is also at risk of going to the pan and taking, at least, four games of suspension.
