Farioli on Diogo Costa and elbow on Gabri Veiga: “The images were clear”

About the refereeing and the incident that left Gabri Veiga bleeding, he said: “The images involving Gabri Veiga were clear. And Gvardiol’s second yellow was also clear. It was unsportsmanlike conduct. It could have changed something, but it’s part of the game.”

Do you find it surprising that Diogo Costa is not among the nominees for best goalkeeper? “For me, Diogo Costa would be nominated, but my vote doesn’t count. Yes. I’ve already spoken about Diogo and what I think of him. The team also put in a great performance, and one of them is Nehuén, who fought like a lion against a fantastic player, with the true Dragon spirit.”
