The FC Barcelona had a complicated party in his debut in LaLiga. Xavi Hernandez's men did not have a good time and one of the main reasons was precisely because the match was broken by Getafe's tickets and a highly permissive referee. This unleashed the fury of the Barcelona players, who did not hesitate to complain at the end of the match.

 

Getafe and Barcelona tied in a game full of emotions, but where there were also strong actions. In general terms, Barça was slightly superior to the Azulones; however, he was unable to reflect it on the scoreboard despite having some approximations. A game, where there was also a lot of lost time.

At the end of the match, the referee added 9 minutes. However, for some FC Barcelona players, this was too little due to the excessive number of minutes that were lost throughout the match. Precisely Frenkie De Jong made emphasis on it and shared said analysis.

 

What did Frenkie De Jong say about the referee's performance?

Frenkie De Jong: “Referees should stop wasting time. In the second half, Getafe wasted 25-30 minutes and gave us 9 minutes of extra time? The referees have to act", said Frenkie. The great controversy arose in the final minutes of the game, due to a possible penalty on Ronald Araujo by Juan Iglesias. A penalty that did not end up being charged.
