Last night, although Barcelona returned to the top of the La Liga rankings, they could not continue to maintain a 2 point gap with Real Madrid when they were suddenly drawn to a draw by Espanyol at home. Currently, teachers and coaches Xavi Hernandez are only slightly better than Los Blancos in terms of difference.
Speaking after the game about the indirect red card in the 78th minute, Jordi Alba insisted he had no influence on the referee, and he also forgot that he had received a yellow card before. Barca Universal quotes the Spanish defender:
Alba is dissatisfied with the referee’s decision.
“I can not understand the fact that I was sent off, I just told him very respectfully, that I think Joselu fouled Christensen.”
“I think it was the first yellow card. Sometimes, I make mistakes and have to control myself better, but not this time. I was surprised.”
“The referee didn’t give me any explanation, so in the end it’s hard for me to give you reasons. I didn’t say anything.”
“We don’t want to lose points at home, we worked really hard and it’s a pity that we couldn’t get the three points.”
