There have been some
criticisms recently by Barcelona's rivals that Guardiola's side have been
helped by referees, although nobody could say that this weekend after they beat
Getafe despite Turienzo Alvarez turning down two clear penalty appeals and
ruling out a perfectly good goal by Messi for a non-existent offside. It all
evens out in the wash! Elsewhere González Vázquez set something
of a record for the season with fifteen yellow cards and two straight reds in
the match between Valencia and Sevilla. Curiously the fifteen yellows were for
different players, something of a feat in itself! (21.04.09) |
