Samuel Umtiti has become a nightmare for referees

The defender's behaviour is not the problem, but referees are starting to have difficulty with him...

Samuel Umtiti, FC Barcelona’s centre-back, has become a nightmare for referees. At least when it comes to them writing their reports.

After the game against Real Betis last weekend he was included in Hernandez Hernandez’s report, with his surname spelt Um Titi as if it were two separate words.

And then, after the Copa del Rey clash referee De Burgos Bengoetxea did exactly the same, writing it “Um Titi, Samuel Yves”.
