Villarreal's Roberto Soldado accuses referee of lacking a pair

Villarreal players were very unhappy about the referee's performance in the 2-2 draw with Barcelona. Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez made some controversial decisions, including giving Neymar a penalty and not sending off Pique. 

Especially strong criticism came from Roberto Soldado. The former Madrid and Valencia player, among other sides, wrote a tweet which hit out at the referee.

"We gave everything despite everything, with a pair, something that someone didn't have on the pitch. Extraordinary game from the team," he wrote. 

Soldado didn't mention the official by name, just inferred it, and is unlikely to be punished for it because of that.
