On Wednesday evening, Leganés stunned La Liga giants Barcelona for the first time in history. Los Pepineros hadn't been able to beat Los Blaugranas in four previous matches between them, and needless to say, this victory is already being considered one of the greatest in the team's brief history.
Unfortunately, one of the players that had a key role in yesterday's result will have a bad memory from this game, as goalkeeper Iván "Pichu" Cuéllar blasted Barcelona's footballers of poor sportsmanship, as they didn't congratulate them for their historic accomplishment.
Speaking to Spanish TV show El Chiringuito, Cuéllar revealed how Messi and Co. decided to leave the pitch without shaking anyone's hand on the way out, something that hints they had a hard time dealing with the defeat.
"It's true that we are Leganés and we are a humble team. But I like the people who are used to winning, when they do lose that they salute the winners and congratulate the other team, which is something that the Barcelona players didn't do," Cuéllar stated.
The goalkeeper had some spectacular saves when facing Los Blaugranas at Butarque Stadium.
The goalie admitted that Barcelona's lack of fair play may have escaped the attention of those in the stadium, but it's something that should be pointed out.
"Maybe no one noticed because we were celebrating. Not one of them congratulated us, and I think that's an ugly gesture," Cuéllar added.
This is not the first time in which Barcelona's players are accused of a similar behavior, as Roma's footballers stated that no Blaugrana player shook hands with them aftert their 3-0 win at Stadio Olímpico.
