Jes\u00fas Gil Manzano had a complicated afternoon in Montju\u00efc. The referee from Extremadura made several mistakes in the second half that almost cost Bar\u00e7a 2 points against Girona (2-1)<\/h2> \r\n

FC Barcelona<\/strong> snatched a victory in the final moments against Girona (2-1)<\/a> despite the disastrous refereeing performance by Jes\u00fas Gil Manzano<\/strong>. The head referee completed a first half without incident, but in the second half, he messed things up with a couple of controversial decisions that could well have cost the Azulgrana team the victory.<\/p>

The referee from Extremadura overlooked a clear foul by Vitor Reis on Marcus Rashford<\/strong> as the Englishman entered the opponent’s area, which, in addition to a possible penalty, warranted a red card for the Brazilian center-back. Ultimately, the one who ended up being sent off was Hansi Flick<\/a> for a gesture of protest that did not deserve a greater punishment.<\/p>

The Bar\u00e7a coach made a disapproving gesture with his hands when the match’s added time was announced<\/strong> (only 4 minutes). Although both teams used up their 5 substitutions and there were a couple of interruptions, Gil Manzano preferred to shorten the added time on a very rainy day in Montju\u00efc.<\/p>

In the post-match press conference, Flick, who will certainly miss the Cl\u00e1sico due to suspension<\/a>, said that he tried to speak with the referee on the way to the locker rooms. However, the 41-year-old referee ignored the German coach’s calls.<\/p>

“He has gone his way and I couldn’t. I accept the referee’s decisions, he makes the decisions<\/strong>. What I have done had nothing to do with him. If he doesn’t want to talk to me, it doesn’t sadden me, I accept it,” argued the Bar\u00e7a coach.<\/p>

Flick gave the finger after Ronald Araujo’s goal in the 90+3rd minute. Luckily, the referee didn’t include the gesture in his report, as the coach could have faced up to 6 match suspension if the referee had interpreted the celebration as a provocation.<\/p>

According to the official record, Jes\u00fas Gil Manzano sent off Hansi Flick in the 90th minute for a double booking. The reasons for the cards were:<\/p>

  1. Applauding one of the referee’s decisions as a form of protest.<\/li> \t
  2. After receiving the warning, making gestures with his hands in a sign of disapproval.<\/li> <\/ol>

    Gil Manzano Let Vitor Reis Off With a Very Clear Red Card<\/h2>

    Previously, in the 71st minute, the referee from Extremadura overlooked a slap to the face from Vitor Reis to Marcus Rashford<\/a>. The ’14’ was entering the area in a clear goal-scoring opportunity, for which the Girona defender should have been sent off with a straight red card.<\/p>

    Furthermore, it was necessary to review exactly where the slap occurred<\/strong>, as the aggression appeared to have taken place inside the area. In that case, the decision pointed to a penalty and expulsion.<\/p>

    But Gil Manzano, instead, signaled a foul by Rashford in attack. Juan Luis Pulido<\/strong>, from VAR, didn’t even call the main referee to recommend reviewing the play. Where Gil Manzano did get it right was in disallowing a goal by Pau Cubars\u00ed in the 61st minute, due to a prior foul by Eric Garc\u00eda on Hugo Rinc\u00f3n.<\/p>
