Certainly not worse than the pathetic excuses Barcelona fans will come up with.

Then again the ref is always on Barcelona's side so they haven't really had anything to complain about.

. Pepe saw his opportunity: grabbing Sánchez's arm, he tumbled backwards, pulling the defender on top of him, falling to the floor, arms up in an appeal, eyes looking longingly at the referee, Jellyhead himself, César Muñiz. Accused this week by the former referee Paradas Romero of being protected by the referees' chief at the cost of others and the man who disallowed a Sevilla goal at Camp Nou earlier this season, Muñiz gave the penalty and Ronaldo scored.

Elche already felt a little hard done by – Ronaldo's opening goal came from a questionable free-kick and Sergio Ramos had been fortunate not to pick up a second yellow card – and now this. At the full-time whistle their players surrounded the referee. Now, the cards came out. Yellows for Manu Herrera, Rubén Pérez and Edu Albácar, red for Sánchez. On the touchline, Pepe was asked about it: "It was a penalty," he said. When Muñiz left the stadium he did so under police guard, insults flying. "He sent me off: if I heard right just because he felt like it," said the Elche manager, Fran Escribá, "but I don't want to talk about him: I don't want to make him the protagonist."
