Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has had his say on the bizarre incident that led to Celta Vigo's Fabian Orellana seeing red in Sunday's La Liga clash between the two sides.
In the latter stages of the match in Vigo, Orellana appeared to throw a piece of turf at the face of Busquets, with the referee sending the forward from the field at the Balaidos.
"I had grass thrown at me [by Orellana]. I found it strange but the referee found it necessary to serve justice," Busquets told reporters. "It was a normal foul and he was angry. He made the situation difficult for himself, but these things happen."
Barcelona won the match 1-0 courtesy of a second-half header from Jeremy Mathieu, who has now registered in back-to-back games.
