Seville head coach Luis Garcia harshly criticized the results of the nomination for the Golden Ball after his team lost to Barcelona with a 1:3 draw.

The mentor of the Andalusians fought against the backdrop of the Brazilian striker of the Catalans, Rafinha, who won a share of the fight, scoring a hat-trick.

“It’s a shame that they didn’t nominate him for the Golden Ball. If you survive the match, I don’t believe in this prize. “We must stop everything,” said Luis Garcia at the post-match press conference.

The match unfolded according to the Gospodars' script: Sevilla started strongly and took the lead thanks to Youssouf Fofani's goal, threatening to give the La Liga leader the first point of the season. The Andalusians didn’t dare to touch Rafinha.

The Brazilian completed a goal even before the break, and in the other half he scored two more shots, adding them to his mid-treble at the Racing goal.

Despite the result, Garcia positively assessed the performance of his team: “Barcelona plays on the greatest level, although I would like to point out Seville itself. Leopard is small but on top to overcome us today. I write like boys,” summed up Kermanich.

Guess what, the lines of red and white sit in the 5th place, having 13 points in their assets.
