The experienced referee of the Premier League, Graham Poll, has written in the British press that "the penalti of the Barcelona was signalled properly", when understanding that the contact between Leo Messi and Martín Demichelis produced just in the line of the area of the Manchester City

Graham Poll has written an article in the 'Daily Mail' in which it ensures that the controversy played of Demichelis and Leo Messi himself was penalti. "The penalti of the Barcelona was signalled properly. Perhaps the referee Jonas Eriksson no pitó the fault of Sergio Busquets to Jesús Navas before the action of attack of the Barcelona, but these things happen in football", has thought the referee of the Premier League.

"We can not argue that Martín Demichelis committed lacking on Lionel Messi, since the Argentinian went only and the safest is that it had marked. It was a clear red card", writes, adding that "in my opinion, the contact continues at least until the line and a bit further, by what concede the penalti was the correct decision". The referee, however, reiterates the possible fault of Busquets. "Perhaps it lost the fault of Navas? Considering what was still in the played, has been a key decision with the enclosed that was the party before the expulsion of Demichelis and the penalti".
