#4 Referee was again the centre of attention

Ignacio Iglesias, the official on the night, put in a disappointing show where his performance will be talked about much more than any player from the two sides; the last thing any referee needs.
The match had three penalty shouts; two to Barcelona and one to Villarreal which should have been awarded.
It seemed that the referee had closed his eyes for handballs as he shockingly denied two handball incidents in which the one involving Bruno Soriano trying to stop Messi's shot with his hand would have been given as a penalty even by a 10-year-old. He also failed to see Javier Mascherano handling the ball and one more foul in Villarreal's box.
