There were several challenges that caught the eye in the match, not least Raul Asencio’s hack on Pedri that resulted in a yellow card for the Real Madrid man.
Former referee Iturralde González has analyzed the footage and feels Asencio was lucky to escape with just a booking.
“Asencio’s challenge on Pedri, in my opinion, is more of a red card than a yellow,” he told Carrusel Deportivo.
”It was a very quick play, with a kick from behind and no chance of playing the ball. For me, it’s more of a red than a yellow, but I can understand why he cautioned him given the speed of the action.”
