"When the play is so clear, there is no need to talk. Everyone is going to say what they think, but when the play is so clear, there is no need to talk."
"As soon as he swept in, it was clear that it was at least a yellow card and a red card. The play was clear, I don't think it was a straight red, but he was clearly going to be sent off."
"No, they have not harmed me. The officials made mistakes, just like coaches and players do."
Diego Simeone expressed frustration over Gerard Martin avoiding a red card during Barcelona's 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid. Despite Nicolas Gonzalez's dismissal for a foul, Atletico nearly secured a draw. Simeone acknowledged Gonzalez's sending off but disagreed with the severity of the punishment. He criticized the VAR decision that allowed Martin to remain on the field, stating the incident was clear-cut. Simeone also noted that officials make mistakes, similar to players and coaches, and did not feel harmed by the referee's decisions.
