The referee of the "derbi" Barça-Espanyol of this Sunday, Churches Villanueva, no pitó a clear fault to the edge of the area on Neymar that would have to have finished in card for the rival player and neither another fault to Busquets that propició the goal of the "parakeets"
Although the FC Barcelona harvested finally a victory holgada against the Espanyol in the Camp Nou, two punctual errors of the referee Churches Villanueva could have decanted the scales clearly in favour of the conjoint visitor, taking into account that it did not signal a very clear fault out of the area on Neymar and his consistent card to the offender for being the last man in defence, as neither pitó a clear fault to Sergio Busquets that propició the played of the first goal of the Espanyol, work of Sergio García after an unfair counterattack.
The facts aggravate even more the anger of the fans culé -that showed white handkerchieves by the arbitration- taking into account that this past Saturday the Real Madrid opened the tin against the Celtic thanks to a "piscinazo" of Cristiano Ronaldo that it was signalled like penalti. Fortunately for the interests of the FC Barcelona, the errors of the referee did not influence in the goleada final and the group culé could keep the three points in the Camp Nou.
This is the played of the goal of the Espanyol:
