"Levante" defender Valdo attacked coach Pep Guardiola, claiming that he pressured the referee to make favorable decisions for his team during Saturday's match. The Catalans celebrated an important victory after a tough battle, defeating Valencia's club 2-1. The referee also contributed, awarding a questionable penalty kick in the 72nd minute after Pedro Botelho's foul on Isaac Cuenca. "Guardiola pressured the referee throughout the whole game," Valdo told "Telemadrid". "I am angry. There should not have been any penalty, it's absurd. But big clubs have privileges." Barcelona's coach also admitted that the penalty kick was debatable, but was happy with the victory ahead of last week's trip to London against "Chelsea" and "El Clasico" against "Real Madrid."
