Barceolna, who seemed to have a perfect match till then, were shown two red cards towards the end in a space of just about a minute to end the match with nine men. While debutant Ronald Araujo could live his dream for just 14 minutes before being sent off for a rash challenge, Dembele, 60 seconds later, was sent off for dissent towards the referee.

Manager Ernesto Valverde, speaking about the red cards after the match said: “The referee will have his opinion on the situation, and he is entitled to his views. However, I am not so sure the decisions were correct in a clean game. Araujo’s sending off did not seem to be a red card, but I am not neutral in this.”

”As for Dembele, I was surprised to see him sent off for making a comment to the referee. I don’t think it would have been a long comment made by him. Even I find it difficult to communicate to Dembele in Spanish, so I am surprised that he made a comment to the referee.”
