Amid the chaos on the sidelines and on the field, the referee, Cadillamendi, who could no longer control the situation and the emotions of the players from both sides, hurriedly blew the whistle to end the game. At this time, there was still more than a minute of injury stoppage time left …
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, it was drowned out by the huge boos above Camp Nou.
The referee of today's game, Cadillamendi, had obviously angered the crowd. He and the assistant referee had no choice but to leave Camp Nou under the close protection of the police. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether they would be torn to pieces by the angry fans of both sides.
On the television, the referee could be seen fleeing the field in a sorry state, and there were also scenes of the fans of both sides having a small-scale conflict.
*****
Some scenes of the post-match press conference were also shown on the news.
At the press conference, the Sporting de Gijón manager, Li Ang, angrily attacked Barcelona. He sarcastically said that Barcelona people could not afford to lose, which caused the conflict later.
This caused a surge of anger among the Barcelona people. The Barcelona manager, Rijkaard, attacked Sporting de Gijón for not playing cleanly and said that Carlos should have been sent off with a red card long ago.
Li Ang directly asked, "Are you proud of Eto'o's malicious shovel?"
"Eto'o did not deliberately hurt people. He did it unintentionally, but Pepe hit people directly!" Rijkaard did not back down.
"You dare say it was unintentional?!" Li Ang gritted his teeth and was extremely ferocious. "Such a player is petty, can't afford to lose, dives, and maliciously hurts people. I wouldn't want such a player even if he was given to me for free! I sincerely hope that he can never score a penalty kick in his life! People who rely on diving to get a penalty kick will be impotent in their lives! "
The reporters at the scene were stunned. They did not expect this Chinese man's mouth to be so poisonous! Don't you think you're losing your dignity as a manager?
After scolding Barcelona, Li Ang pointed his gun at the referee of the game, Cadillamendi. He angrily rebuked, "The referee of this game's officiating level is simply low and amateur! Can't he see a fake fall? He ignored the foul? He wasn't able to control the game at all. Everything was off track! "
After scolding the opponent and the referee, Li Ang left the table angrily. The reporters wanted to stop him, but Li Ang said angrily, "I'm going to take a look at the injury of the starting players!"
He was really worried about Ivanovic's injury. If Ivanovic's injury was serious, Sporting de Gijón's right back would be in danger.
After Li Ang left, Rijkaard did not stay any longer. However, before he left, Rijkaard also fired at the referee on duty, Cadilamendi. He angrily said that the referee should also be held responsible for everything that happened today.
It was very rare for the managers of both teams to point fingers at each other and even curse at each other. In the end, they actually attacked the referee together.
All the reporters knew that no matter what the final punishment was, the referee on duty today, Cadillamendi, would not get a result. This referee was in big trouble.

*****
Objectively speaking, there were a lot of upsets in this round of the league, such as the loss of Atlético Madrid and Sevilla, and Real Madrid's 5-0 victory over Levante. These were all worthy of being written about. However, all the limelight was now stolen by the match between Sporting Gihon and Barcelona.
It was not only because Sporting de Gijón beat Barcelona 3-1 in the away game, which further established them as the dark horse of the season and the killers of the powerhouses.
It was also because of the serious conflict that broke out in this game. The players of both teams had a violent physical altercation on the field, and the managers of both teams were sent to the stands at the same time. Then, Barcelona's assistant manager, Tenkat, and Sporting de Gijón's manager, Li Ang's assistant, Banderas, were sent to the stands. In addition, Ivanovic and Larsson each had a player who was seriously injured and had to leave the field …
Conflict, diving, penalty kicks, missed penalty kicks, red cards, injuries, and the manager's expulsion. All the elements needed to be sensational were present in this game.
What happened in the press conference after the game was even more sensational and exciting.
Sporting de Gijón's manager, Li Ang, directly made sarcastic remarks about Barcelona being a sore loser, which made Barcelona extremely angry. In addition, the Chinese manager even put a 'vicious curse' (in the words of Mundo Deportivo) on Barcelona's Cameroonian striker, Eto'o, who was suspected of deliberately injuring others, cursing that Eto'o would never be able to take a penalty kick in the future. Rijkaard also attacked Sporting de Gijón for playing rough and conservative, saying that Carlos was a butcher. After the two managers blamed each other, they also pointed the finger at the referee on duty, Cadillamendi.
The media of Sporting de Gijón and Catalonia, while attacking each other, also pointed the finger at the referee. They believed that the referee's enforcement level was low, which ruined the game to a certain extent.
For a while, Li Ang's name and photos were everywhere in the Spanish media. The media also sighed. This man fought with Real Madrid and was later called "Barcelona's old friend" by the Barcelona people. Now, he had a grudge with Barcelona and at the same time, he attacked the referee's enforcement. This guy made enemies everywhere and did not have any scruples. Is it really good for you to be so arrogant?
*****
At this moment, the most active were the Real Madrid Club and the Madrid media. Real Madrid strongly criticized and attacked Barcelona and Sporting de Gijón, calling on the Spanish Football Federation to severely punish the violent conflict between the players. At the same time, they did not forget to wave the flag and shout that the referee should be respected and strongly condemned Sporting de Gijón and Barcelona's actions of attacking the referee.
In short, the people of Madrid were making a fuss. They only had one purpose, and that was to ask the Spanish Football Federation to severely punish Sporting de Gijón and Barcelona!
These two clubs, one was a century-old enemy, and the other had a deep new hatred. It was not easy to get the opportunity to hit a man who was down. The Madrid side could be said to have gone all out.
All eyes were on the Spanish Football Federation, wanting to see how they would deal with this matter. The reporters in Madrid were even more active than the reporters in Sporting de Gijón and Barcelona. They waited outside the Spanish Football Federation's office building day and night … just to get the first-hand news and watch the show with schadenfreude. Fanning the flames, wanting to see the world in chaos …
