Catalan press react to "robbery" and "scandal in Seville"
Sport and Mundo Deportivo reported on Barcelona's draw at Betis, focusing largely on the controversy which saw the Catalan side have a legitimate goal not awarded.
Catalonia’s big two tabloids, Mundo Deportivo and Sport were left in agreement following Barcelona’s 1-1 draw in Betis on Sunday afternoon, with both papers declaring the result a “scandal” after Los Cules were denied a legitimate goal.

"Controversy"
