In Barcelona's 3-0 away victory over Mallorca, referee Montero adopted a double standard in the penalty decision. He severely punished Mallorca's foul and was much more tolerant of Barcelona, which also led to hundreds of Mallorca fans' exit early. The

game was controversial in the 23rd minute, with Ferran Torres scoring the second goal for Barcelona. At that time, Yamal shot outside the penalty area and hit Reyello in the head. Although many Mallorca players believe the referee will suspend the game, Montero did not stop the game, but instead determined that the goal was valid.

This decision caused anger among the audience, who could not understand why the goal was effective. Montero then showed yellow cards to protesting Mallorca players Molanis and Alasat, but turned a blind eye to the Barcelona players who also protested.

Montero's performance was getting worse and worse, and just seven minutes later, he sent off Molanis' second yellow card for a tackle move against Yamal. To make matters worse, Muric accidentally kicked Joan Garcia in the neck during a fight.

At first, Montero only showed one yellow card, but at the prompt of VAR, the Kosovo player was eventually sent off the court. As the first half was about to end, Rafinia made a very bad flying tackle against Morey and was only shown a yellow card.

This penalty further angered the audience. During the intermission, Campos had an argument with Rafinia, expressing his dissatisfaction with the foul. Eventually, hundreds of Mallorca fans left the stadium after the first half.
