05 On May 16, in the 36th round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Espanyol 2-0 away, locking in the La Liga championship two rounds ahead of schedule. Espanyol coach Manolo Gonzalez was interviewed after the game and talked about the team's players being sent off.

Cafrala could be punished

Gonzalez: It's logical to continue the game, being sent off is a blow, and falling like that, you have to handle the situation. The team on the other side handles this dramatic situation well, and you blow your breath at them and they will quickly fall to the ground. We are destroying football, it is not an act of hurting others, nor is it an act of being sent off.

Dialogue with Yamal

Gonzalez: I just told him not to fake falls and not to provoke. As for the post-match celebration, I think the Barcelona head coach is very graceful and he brought the players into the locker room, which is the most normal and rational way to do it. No one should be provoked or incited. I want to praise the Barcelona coach for his actions.
