You have to have that respect." Ramos' team-mate Casemiro also noted the potential penalty, but had sympathy for the referee in a match that he considered a fair result."The referee could have given a penalty for Marcelo," Casemiro added. "But we cannot talk about him, the referee wants to do his best. It was a draw, a great match for both sides. Suarez, meanwhile, admitted he did not expect play to continue after his challenge on Varane."Varane controlled it and I just put my foot in," Suarez said. "But hey, that's the decision of the referee, sometimes they get it right and sometimes not, I was a little surprised that he let it go on. "We went ahead twice on the scoreboard. Sergi's red card hurt us, but the team did spectacular physical work, defended well. The draw was not bad either."</blockquote>
