Central remained on the bench and in the first half chased referee Gil Manzano into the dressing room, with insults and complaints about Lewandowski’s sending off.
After bidding farewell to the Camp Nou in pomp and circumstance, with a lot of emotion last weekend, this Tuesday Gerard Pique was the champion once again in the game that ended his career, but for negative reasons. The center was on the bench and in the first half referee Jesús Gil Manzano chased and insulted him, and he was sent off.
Barcelona reached the first half behind Osasuna in Pamplona, with a goal allegedly preceded by a mistake and Lewandowski sent off nine years later. Pique was furious and had nothing to lose, he threw himself at the referee, who had already handed his report.
“Did you see who you fired?” , Pique fired the first attacks on Gil Manzano. Gil Manzano’s report continues: “In the 45th minute, the player (3) Pique Bernabeu Gerrard was sent off for the following reason: after the first half, when he was already inside the dressing room tunnel, for addressing me with the following phrases: “Did you see the angle I took? You are the most exciting referee so far!”
At that time Pique was fired, but did not drop his complaint. “Once the club delegate was informed of this player’s expulsion, he continued to repeat the same phrases described in the ‘Expulsions’ section, whereby his club staff had to take him to his locker room, while addressing me with the following phrases: ‘You are a disgrace, a disgrace, who gave birth to you! ‘ concludes the referee’s report.
