‘He can’t behave like that’ – Frenkie de Jong blasts referee after Barcelona lose to Real Sociedad

“I thought we deserved to win tonight, we had the chances to do that, but you have to score the goals. I think we played well but we haven’t won the game. You have to score the goals. We had so many opportunities, their goalkeeper had a very good game,” he told the media afterwards.

“The only thing I can say is that you can’t talk to this referee. I’m the captain and I don’t understand it. He looks at me with a face like, ‘I’m better than you.’ It’s frustrating. He can’t behave like that.

“At the end of the game, I was saying to the ref, look for the time, give us more time, add time, and he didn’t. He blew the whistle after nine minutes and that seems crazy to me. I said this to him and he showed me a card. You can’t talk to his referee.”
