Luis García and the 2-1: "When they raise the flag, they always whistle"

former Sevilla manager Luis García Plaza blamed controversial refereeing decisions after his side's 2-1 defeat at Getafe, citing a disputed offside call for the second goal.

former Sevilla manager Luis García Plaza expressed frustration after his team's 2-1 loss at Getafe, focusing on a controversial goal that put the hosts ahead. García Plaza complained about a series of refereeing decisions going against Sevilla in recent matches, including Isaac's red card against Levante and incidents at the Bernabéu. He specifically questioned the offside decision for Getafe's second goal, saying: "When they raise the flag, they always whistle. I don't know what happened. I saw the flag and said: 'that's it, foul'. They continued because the play was promising."

Beyond the refereeing complaints, García Plaza acknowledged Sevilla's own shortcomings. He noted the team played well in the first half but lacked finishing, while Getafe dominated the second period and converted their chances. "It's difficult to come to Getafe and be better for all 90 minutes," he said, calling for self-criticism from his squad.
