Real Sociedad hit back at Barcelona’s Gerard Pique penalty claims

Real Sociedad have hit back at Barcelona’s claims they should have had a late penalty for a foul on Gerard Pique in Saturday’s 2-2 draw.

The Spanish champions have reportedly complained to the RFEF after seeing an appeal turned down when Pique had his shirt pulled in the penalty area.

Sergio Busquets had conceded a spot-kick earlier in the match for a similar offence, but Sociedad aren’t having any of it and reckon the referee got the decision spot on.

The club posted a series of tweets explaining their view.
