Barcelona have been unimpressed with the refereeing so far in La Liga, having appealed for and been denied several penalties, despite winning all three games to maintain a 100 per cent record.

Here are the calls Barcelona are unhappy about from the league season so far - and this comes after the controversy over Gerard Pique's sending off in the Spanish Super Cup clash against Athletic.

-----------------

Game 1: Athletic Club 0-1 Barcelona

Referee: Del Cerro Grande

- A Sergi Roberto cross was handled by Gorka Elustondo in the area. The referee didn't spot it, although he also didn't spot that the ball had gone out of play in the moments before the cross.

Game 2: Barcelona 1-0 Malaga

Referee: Santiago Jaime Latre

- A handball by Miguel Torres as Neymar tried to dribble the ball around him in the box. Similar to the one given against Gerard Pique at the Bernabeu Clasico the previous season.

- Two minutes later, Angeleri brought down Luis Suarez inside the area but a penalty was not awarded.

Game 3: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Barcelona

Referee: Antonio Mateu Lahoz

- Jose Gimenez handled an Ivan Rakitic cross in the area, from close range.

- Jose Gimenez handled a Neymar shot in the area, but the ball bounced off his chest onto his arm and it was hard to stop.

- Diego Godin handled a Neymar shot which seemed like it was going in.
