Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was sent to the stands during the draw against Almeria, and he was none the wiser as to the reason why.
Speaking to Marca after the game, Guardiola said, "Ask the referee why."
"It was an entertaining game. We created chances, and I should congratulate the team because they never gave up.
"At times when you have ten men, the opponent tries to go for the win. In general, we found it difficult to play against a well organized and motivated team.
"They had chances with Piatti and Crusat.
"I am not unhappy."
Guardiola then analyzed the match in further detail, continuing, "We always try to win, but this was a match we could have lost also."
"We were 2-1 down with ten men, and the team responded. We moved the ball around well.
"There are still many games left."
Finally, when asked about Zlatan Ibrahimovic's sending off, Guardiola simply stated, "I did not see it."
