Pique launches refereeing jibe at Madrid over favourable treatment

The player thinks that Barcelona have been unfairly held back by officials in domestic football

He was unimpressed with the criticism his team received after their remontada against PSG in the 6-1

Gerard Pique has hit out at refereeing in La Liga, saying that no decisions have gone Barcelona’s way in the Spanish top flight in a long time.

"When did the referees favour us? In the Champions League? Ah, I thought the question was about the league. In the league it has been a while,” he said after Spain beat France 2-0 in Paris.

"We are discussing an historic comeback of 6-1 [Barcelona’s remontada against PSG in the UCL] and you focus on the referees. And when Real Madrid win a Champions League with an offside Sergio Ramos goal, nothing happens."

The defender was in talkative mood on Tuesday night in the mixed zone after the match, and he ranted about the goings on in Madrid's presidential box too.
