IMPORTANT: Guardiola demands more in Real Madrid's second leg
To be honest, I could talk to (the ref). At half-time, his attitude wasn't so bad. But I didn't see any significant action in the replays, but it seemed like he was very quick to get the yellow card for us
In the second half I think I should have got a penalty. He clearly seemed to hit me with his foot. If not, I can continue running. If he hadn't kicked me, I wouldn't have fallen. For me, it's a penalty. That's what I told him, at least check the replay once, and he gave me a yellow card, I don't know how it looks on TV. Maybe my perception may be wrong.
