Alaves furious over rejected penalty appeal at Barca
Print Edition
Alaves players were left furious after a 1-2 loss at Barcelona on Sunday, believing they should have had a late penalty.
John Guidetti鈥檚 strike put the Basques ahead but late goals by Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi turned the game around before Samuel Umtiti handled Munir El Haddadi鈥檚 shot in the dying stages.
The forward, on loan from Barcelona, cracked the ball towards goal but it struck Umtiti鈥檚 arm and the visitors furiously demanded a penalty, but referee Ignacio Iglesias Villanueva was unmoved.
They would have been lucky to get one, given the last time a penalty was awarded against Barcelona in La Liga was almost two years ago, in February 2016. Guidetti scored on that day for Celta Vigo in a 1-6 defeat and in 74 league matches since Barcelona has not had a spot-kick given against it, but has earned 32 of its own.
Alaves defender Victor Laguardia highlighted the fact the referee was the same official who failed to award Barcelona a clear goal against Valencia when Lionel Messi鈥檚 strike crossed the line.
鈥淗e was far away from the play but it was very clear. The referee is the same one from the Mestalla,鈥 Laguardia said.
鈥淣ow they are at peace, the two of them, Barca and Iglesias Villanueva.鈥
