The Argentine was dismissed for a second yellow card with 12 minutes remaining after City had a strong penalty appeal waved away when Edin Dzeko appeared to have been felled by Gerard Pique.
"I don't know why he sent me off. It was a clear penalty and the referee is two metres away from the incident.
There was a clear foul on Dzeko too in the build-up to Barca's first goal, which he gave as a free kick. In the heat of the moment I ran towards him, but I didn't show any lack of respect," he said.
