That meeting contested in the Spotify Camp Nou in front of the Ray Vallecano and the Barcelona lost by the minimum in front of the team mardileño, a day in which in addition to the controversial expulsion to the delegate of the Catalan club, Carlos Naval, Díaz of Mere decided not signalling, neither review, a penalti quite clear in favour of the Barça. The referee no pitó a clear push to Gavi in the last minutes of the statutory time. After the party there was unanimity in considering that it was maximum penalty, but in the moment not even took part the VAR for a possible review.
