In the third round of the Champions League, 10-man Olympiacos lost 1-6 away to Barcelona. After the game, Olympiacos midfielder Daniel Garcia expressed his dissatisfaction with teammate Herze after receiving a second yellow and being sent off in an interview with Cosmote TV.
"We played well, and as long as we had 11 people, we could control the situation, but we couldn't understand the red card at all. We had never seen such a penalty in our lives. Herzer controlled the ball at that time, did not touch the opponent at all, and could not understand the basis for sending him off. Then the team collapsed. One less player made us physically exhausted, and the situation was completely out of control."
