In that game, the referee Mateu Lahoz wanted to be the protagonist, added extra time and the team led by Lionel Scaloni suffered to advance to the round. Now, another Argentine was a victim of the referee.

Subsequently, Lionel Messi questioned the arbitration of the Spaniard, whom he has known for a long time from his time in La Liga and asked FIFA to take action on the matter. After his embarrassing performance, he was erased from the Qatar World Cup. Now, he once again stole the limelight and harmed another Argentine.

This is Jorge Sampaoli. The Argentine coach, who failed with the Argentine team at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, currently leads Sevilla. The Andalusian team faced Linares, for the Copa del Rey, and Mateu Lahoz took just 15 minutes to expel the DT. The Spanish judge has drawn 31 yellow cards and four red ones in the last three games he has led.

What bad news did he receive?

Mateu Lahoz has already earned a reputation for not being a good referee, now every time he participates in a game, social networks are filled with memes for his terrible performance and also, they look closely at each play he makes, and ask the Spanish League to stop refereeing.
