Dani Alves He starred in a great return to the Camp Nou in the Barça-Atlético (4-2) scoring a goal and providing an assist. However, he was expelled with a direct red for a stomp on the twin of Carrasco that the Brazilian considered involuntary. Gil Manzano from Extremadura did not see him live, but he went to VAR and expelled him.

“I think the red one was a bit rigorous. It’s true that I stepped on it. But I didn’t have space to support my leg. The play had been stopped. It crossed, I wanted to stop. I quickly worried if I had hurt it and luckily It wasn’t like that. It was unintentionally, I had no intention of stepping on him,” he explained. Alves after the match.

Carrasco, meanwhile, did not see the play the same. In Movistar pointed out that “Alves told me that he went ahead and that he didn’t want to. But for me, since he saw that the referee whistled offside, he did it wanting to be noticed, he made himself felt. So high… I don’t think be to catch the ball”, he explained, lamenting that “if I don’t stay on the ground, the VAR doesn’t call the referee to give him a red card. I had to call the referee to go see it and confirm that it was red”.
