When it seemed that all the controversy was over with the dubious expulsion of Vitor Roque against Alavés, the situation has taken an unexpected turn. Rafa Marin, the supposedly affected by the contact with Tigrinho, has published an image on Instagram about the state of his leg after the 'crash'
The Barça won to the Alavés by 1-3, but saw again wrapped in another controversy related with the arbitration. The Brazilian forward Vitor Roque saw a second yellow in an action 'doubtful' in a dispute of balloon with Rafa Marín. The carioca arrived late, but separated the leg to time and practically 'brushed' to the player of the Alavés. Still like this, for Munuera Montero the contact was sufficient so that the Barcelona player was expelled. A decision that has involved controversial, and that has aggravated even more, when the defence of the Basque team has published an image in social networks on the state of his leg after the 'bump'.
In the record of the party, the referee described the action of the following form: "In the minute 72 the player (19) Roque Ferreira, Vitor Hugo was admonished by the following reason: For striking with the foot in the leg of an opponent of reckless way". Nevertheless, in the images appreciates something entirely distinct, since the contact with the leg of the player of the Alavés is practically non-existent, an action with few punishable nuances.
An equal image of 'doubtful' that the action
However, the situation has taken an unexpected twist when Rafa Marín, player that received the supposed fault of the Tigrinho, has published an image in his account of Instagram in which it saw his leg after the 'contact'. The photography shows the leg of the player with a small wound in the blackhead, accompanied of the sentence: "Images that speak by himself alone", suggesting that the entrance of the carioca was more dangerous of what appreciated in the images.

The arbitration is one of the factors that more is happening bill for the team of Xavi, that already has announced in the back press conference to the party that will resort the expulsion of the ariete so that it can play in front of the Granada.
