Lopez Nieto refereed his last game of league football before retiring at Alavés, and was obviously so overcome with emotion that he forgot to give out any cards at all. All his career at the forefront of our charts and then he blew it on the last day! Seriously though, we wish him well in his retirement. Otherwise a quiet day, with Téllez Sánchez showing a quarter of all the weekend's cards (10 yellows and a red) in the derby game between Málaga and Sevilla, and Puentes Leira leaving Valencia with nine men against Barcelona as well as awarding three penalties.
