A referee sent off Messi, Suarez, Neymar and Lewandowski, and the Barca media were angry: Is this sent by Real Madrid?
Against Osasuna, Lewandowski was sent off for receiving two yellow cards, his first since joining Barca.
The referee of the match was Hill Manzano, and it is no coincidence that the referee presided over the game and that a player from Barca was sent off. The referee from Extremadura, who has sent off Barça stars several times in the last 10 years, and many of them are strikers.
He sent off Lewandowski and Pique in this game.
In the 2014-15 season, Manzano sent Alves. Alves returned to Barca last season, only to be sent off by Manzano again.
In addition, Suarez was sent off by Manzano in a Copa del Rey semi-final. Neymar was sent off by Manzano in a La Liga match.
In the 2021 Spanish Super Cup, Manzano also sent off Messi, which is also Messi's only red card in 778 matches at Barca.
Among the other Barca players, Lenglet was sent off by Manzano twice, while Roberto was also sent off by Manzano. On an average of 3.66 games, he had to send 1 penalty.
Some Barca fans believe that the referee is a "Real Madrid" referee, and some evidence of Manzano and Real Madrid's good relationship has been exposed.
