In the end, it was a disappointing night for Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp – despite such a promising start.
After putting them ahead against Barcelona, Fernando Torres saw red after picking up a couple of quick yellow cards. His sending off proved to be a key moment in the game, with Luis Suarez – having escaped a potential red card of his own in the first half – netting twice after the break.
Clearly feeling aggrieved by some of the decisions given by the referee on the night, former Chelsea defender Filipe Luis made it perfectly clear what he thought about it all.
“It could have been a lot worse, but a lot better as well if we don’t get a red card,” Luis explained, in a post-match interview.
“It was totally unfair for me. From my point of view, he’s a striker – second foul, second yellow.
“It’s totally unfair but we knew that this was going to happen.
“It’s not easy to play against Barcelona in the Champions League. They’re a club with a lot of history and it’s really dangerous if they go out in this qualifier.
“We knew we had to play against everybody and everything.”
Ouch. Don’t mince your words, Filipe.
