Real Betis head coach Pepe Mel criticized referee Inaki Bikandi after Barcelona was awarded a controversial penalty in their Liga clash.
Pepe Mel was left perplexed at referee Inaki Bikandi awarding a penalty for Barcelona as Real Betis slipped to a 4-0 defeat at Camp Nou on Wednesday.
With the game scoreless after 28 minutes Betis was more than holding its own against Luis Enrique's side, but its challenge became tougher when Barca was awarded a controversial spot kick.
As a cross arrowed in towards Lionel Messi in the area, goalkeeper Adan punched it clear but was penalized by referee Inaki Bikandi for colliding with the Barca striker.
