Gil Manzano reflects insults in the minutes: "You are the referee who has screwed us the most!"

The controversy between Osasuna and Barça, with two red cards and several protests from the Barça side, did not end with the final whistle. Gil Manzano has drawn up a very harsh report with Xavi's players, who could receive harsh sanctions after what happened in El Sadar according to the referee's version.

Gil Manzano expelled Lewandowski for a double yellow card after half an hour, two actions that do not go beyond the field of play. But when leaving the field he touched his nose several times, an extreme that the Extremaduran referee reiterated in his writing without specifying his meaning. According to former soccer player Álvaro Domínguez, who played in the Bundesliga for several years, the striker's gesture means "arrogant" in Germany.

Although the hardest part of the writing comes when it refers to the expulsion of Gerard Piqué, which occurred at halftime after the protests of the Barça central defender. "In the 45th minute, player (3) Pique Bernabeu, Gerard was sent off for the following reason: Once the first half was over, when he was already inside the locker room tunnel, for addressing me in the following terms: "Have you seen what corner you gave us? You are the referee who has screwed us the most by far "", reflects the minutes.

But Gil Manzano does not stop there and in the "Other incidents" section, he adds more insults from Piqué: "Once the Club Delegate was informed of the expulsion of this player, he continued to repeat the same expressions described in the Expulsions section, having to be ushered into his dressing room by staff from his club, while addressing me in the following terms: "It's a fucking shame, I shit on your fucking mother!".

These expressions can lead to a harsh sanction for Piqué, a circumstance without too much importance after the Barça central defender announced a few days ago his retirement after the Pamplona game, resulting in a heroic comeback for Barça against Osasuna.
