I.Rakitic: The judge insulted me

Although the team "Barcelona" defeated the eternal rivals Madrid "Real" 3:2 in a friendly match in the USA, after the game one of the Catalan club's players Ivan Rakitic poured out his frustration.

The Croatian midfielder was not pleased that he scored a goal - he blamed the match referee Jair Marrufo for disrespectful behavior.

"All my friends know perfectly well how difficult it is to get me out of patience.

However, today the match referee succeeded in doing so - he insulted me strongly at least three times.

Usually I respect the referees, but if I don't receive respect, I will act the same way," - said Rakitic, without revealing what the referee said to him.

At one point, the Croat even pushed the referee, but he managed to avoid a yellow card.
