The referee didn't have a great day at the office and spoke about it
Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez has looked back at his refereeing of Barcelona's 3-2 win at Real Betis. He spoke to the media after taking physical tests at Las Rozas, as part of the physical and technical seminar of the refereeing committee.
He sent off Nabil Fekir and Clement Lenglet, didn't dismiss Sergi Roberto and did not give Leo Messi a penalty.
"A refereeing career is formed of many personal and professional experiences and the other day was just another day, another experience, another game, and like all games, more or less intense, you always learn things," said the official.
"It doesn't only happen in refereeing, learning happens in any area of life. You yourselves, when you do your job, there are days that you don't expect something and you leave feeling richer because you've learned something."
