He told Laos with respect that Joselu fouled Christensen and that was all. . At the time the referee thought it was his first yellow card, but it was actually his second. Obviously the referee would not have shown this yellow card if he knew it would get Alba a red card.


Alba said that he sometimes makes mistakes and protests excessively. He needs to improve in this regard, but today's situation is completely different. The referee can't remember his first yellow card and made a mistake.


Sergi Roberto, one of the Barcelona captains, said that they were all surprised when Lajos sent off Alba, because Alba didn't even protest, obviously Lajos forgot that he had already played the card to Alba up.


Xavi said that Laos usually can control the game, but today he failed. He kept showing yellow and red cards and the game was out of control.


Frankie De Jong, who was substituted in this game, said in an interview after the game that he did not expect to be substituted, but it was the coach's decision.


Barcelona striker Lewandowski posted a photo of himself in the game on social media after the game and wrote: "It's a pity that we didn't win the game, but I'm still happy to see you again. Happy New Year!"
