No doubt about the refereeing moment which created most noise last weekend, Iturralde González's decision to award a penalty to Barcelona against city rivals Espanyol talked about over and over again. The incident came when Xavi fell in the area under a challenge from youngster Raúl Baena, and although cameras picked up a slight tug on Xavi's shirt, it didn't seem enough for him to fall the way he did. Barça went on to win the match 1-0 thanks to that penalty, and Baena was shown a second yellow card and consequently a red for saying to Iturralde as he was leaving the field "You'll see it on the tele [that you were wrong]". The disciplinary committee didn't think that the remark warranted a yellow card though, and overturned the decision on appeal. The penalty and the result still stand of course! (15.12.09)
