The CTA, very satisfied with the arbitration of Munuera Montero in Levante-Barça

Yesterday we attended the City of Valencia of the Levante to a really strange event. And it happens because they whistle after penalties against a team, something that happened last night with FC Barcelona. Something unusual, except with the Barça team. The most striking and similar precedent was last season when Gil Manzano awarded three penalties against real Madrid in Mestalla.

Last night the international Andalusian collegiate was in the Ciutat de València Juan Munuera Monteroassisted in WHERE for Villanueva Churches. It was a complex performance due to the three penalties, but the Arbitration Technical Committee considers that the Andalusian referee performed at a high level given that the three penalties are pitable and punishable. The most doubtful, but it was punishable as it did Munuera Monterowas the first in the 53rd minute of the game.

It was also the maximum penalty that just minutes later when Eric Garcia he touched the ball with his arm. The Barça defender had his arm extended in an unnatural position. Hence, from the VAR they did not correct him Munuera Montero.

There is also no doubt in the third of Lenglet a Danny Gomez in the demolition on the edge of the area and nine minutes to go. Munuera it is only six meters from the action. Hence, he did not hesitate to point it out.

“No penalties or punishment for rough play”

In this case none of the three can be considered as penalties. What is it that the CTA which should be avoided at all costs. It was at the weekly arbitration meeting last Friday and prior to the day this weekend. The seminar also stressed the importance of harshly punishing rough and rough play actions. And without fear of expelling players who commit it.
