Barcelona-Sevilla was a game that had everything: chances, equality, a great goal, Pedri’s, and how could it be otherwise in a duel for second place in the League, plenty of controversy. Both the local and visiting benches protested on several occasions some decisions by the Murcian referee, José María Sánchez Martínez. Xavi, Barcelona coachsaw a yellow card, and Lopetegui’s second, Pablo Sanz, was sent off after a foul by Piqué on Erik Lamela.
The tension between the refereeing body and the Barça staff reached the locker room tunnels, where, as Sánchez stated in the match minutes, a member of the Catalan team he addressed one of his assistants with the words “How bad you are.”
«After the meeting ended and we were in the locker room tunnel, an unidentified person dressed in the FC Barcelona tracksuit addressed my assistant number 1 in the following terms, at the top of his voice: ‘how bad are you’. Identification requested from the local team delegate, not being possible, ”wrote the referee after the match.
Therefore, there will be no sanction because it was not possible for Sánchez to identify the author of the words nor was he given information to do so. The match, despite the normality with which the first part passed, convulsed in the second act, where they showed up to six yellow (after for each team). A possible hand from Araujo inside the area in the first part, one of the most protested actions by the Sevilla side.
