Among the complaints was the decision not to send off Carlos Romero for an apparent foul on Kylian Mbappe before he scored Espanyol's winner.

Mao said today: “I have not read the letter. I am concerned about Espanyol, the competition and the season.

"I would be concerned about the threats that our player, Carlos Romero, is receiving."

Mao also said: “We will provide the player with all the defence, all the coverage, from the security and communication department."

Asked about the specific action on Mbappé, he insisted: “I am not going to evaluate a specific play , this is football.”
