Alba: "The referee has not had at all that see in the result"

In spite of the defeat suffered in Vicente Calderón against the Athletic of Madrid (2-0), the players of the FC Barcelona, beginning by Jordi Alba, denied in mixed zone that the referee Nicola Rizzoli affected too when becoming of the eliminatory, subtracting importance to the penalti no pitado by the Italian referee and recognising that they would have to have reacted a lot before.

"In the first part is truth that were more in our field that in his, but they have fast players and hurt us", signalled the one of L'Hospitalet on the first act of the party. In the second half, however, ensured that the Barça was better that his opponent. "In the second part did better split that they, the possession was ours and did occasions, but could not be and have to centre us in the League and in the Glass. It remains a lot of season".

The Athletic was too well in defence as so that the FC Barcelona achieved to upset the sufficient to Jan Oblak. "The Athletic does years that is uncomfortable, no only for us but for all his rivals. They shut backwards, even so had occasions to mark".

Finally, Jordi Alba did not want to attribute part of the elimination of the Barça to Rizzoli. "They have said me that it was penalti, I also saw it in thefield . But no it pitaron and does not remain another that go on. The referee inside what fits was well. It is truth the of the occasion of the penalti, but are played that sometimes they favour us and others prejudice us. The referee did not have at all that see".
