There was more controversy as Luis Enrique's side came unstuck against Malaga, but those in the Camp Nou squad are not making excuses
Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta insists it is pointless to blame the officials for the 2-0 defeat to Malaga on Saturday.
The champions failed to capitalise on La Liga leaders Real Madrid surrendering a late lead against Atletico Madrid as goals from former Barca forward Sandro Ramirez and Jony secured maximum points for the hosts at La Rosaleda.
Barca had Neymar sent off in the second half, the Brazil star earning a second booking for a strong challenge on Diego Llorente after he had earlier been cautioned for delaying a free-kick by tying his laces.
