Barça will appeal the inexplicable 2nd yellow to Vitor Roque to play against Granada

The FC Barcelona will resort the inexplicable second yellow that the collegiate Martínez Munuera showed to Vitor Roque during the crash in front of the Alavés (1-3). In the minute 72', the Valencian referee expelled to the Brazilian by a pisotón on Zamora that, as evidenciaron the cameras of 'DAZN', was not infringement, since the forward culé as soon as it brushed to the local player.

After the party, the own Xavi Hernández confirmed the annoyance of the club and the intention to resort the card whereby, in principle, 'Tigrinho' will not be able to play next Sunday in Montjuïc in front of the Granada. "Yes we go it to resort because it is an error of the referee to us. Robert is our goleador and Vitor gives us this. It is very unfair the expulsion", explained the egarense.

In accordance with the record of Martínez Munuera, Roque was admonished in the 67' "for striking to a contrary with the arm of reckless way". The fault on Marín, without balloon, did not leave place to the doubts. Five minutes later, the Valencian referee expelled to the Brazilian for seeing the second yellow, this time admonished "for striking with the foot in the leg of an opponent of reckless way". This was the action of the controversy, since the pisotón on Zamora was non-existent.

The Disciplinary Code can give the reason to the Barça

In this sense, the Barça has good options to attain that LaLiga raise the sanction to 'Tigrinho', since it treated of a played in which the VAR could not take part for being an expulsion by double yellow. In accordance with the article 17 of the Disciplinary Code, concerning the value of the referee's records, "in the assessment of the infringements referents to the sportive discipline, the decisions of the/of the referee/to on facts related with the game are definite boasting true, except self-evident material error". From here that the Barça will appeal the decision, treating of an error comprobable of Martínez Munuera with the video of the played.

To the street Vitor Roque!
