Controversial On Saturday, Mateu Lahoz was the referee for Osasuna’s win over Almeria. After the game, he was given a guard of respect. Lahoz is scheduled to retire at the end of the season, so after their win, Osasuna wanted to show him some respect. The referee is well-known in the world of football for giving out a lot of cards, which has annoyed, amused, and upset fans over the years.
Mateu Lahoz honoured after La Liga Match
Lahoz is leaving the team after a rough season. He was kicked out of the World Cup after leading Argentina to a win over the Netherlands that included 15 yellow cards, a red card, and a lot of angry players. Frenkie de Jong called him “scandalous” after the game, and Lionel Messi’s words after the game were also pretty harsh. Lahoz then had another disasterclass when Barca played Espanyol on New Year’s Eve.
He gave out 15 yellow cards and four red cards (one of which was overturned), making La Liga history in the process. After the game, Xavi said that Lahoz was giving out cards for no reason and had lost control of the game. The coach of Barcelona has also said in the past that he likes Lahoz. However, he won’t see Lahoz much more because he is going to retire at the end of the season.
