Last Sunday FC Barcelona fell at the Santiago Bernabéu. Xavi’s team was not able to overcome Ancelotti’s team, and ended up losing by one result of 3-2 after a goal by Jude Bellingham in the 91st minute. However, the match was full of controversies that have given rise to the culés to complain about the refereeing.
From the penalty called on Lucas Vázquez, in which they point out that the Madrid player seeks contact more than what Pau Cubarsí hinders him, to Lamine Yamal’s ‘ghost goal’ that Lunin scores between the sticks, Barcelona fans are not happy with the referee’s performance. Ibai Llanos called Gerard Piqué as soon as the match ended to find out his opinion.
“For me it’s not a penalty”
This is how the discussion of the two most controversial plays by Piqué begins. He indicates that Lucas is looking for contact, so he thinks it is not a penalty: “He can see clearly, he is running and he sees that the other has his foot stopped. Cubarsí is not going to do anything to you at any time, and Lucas puts his right foot in such a way to impact Cubarsí. “He’s looking for it.”
But, despite this, he knows that the VAR did not fail there: “Once the VAR is whistled, it cannot enter, because it is a play that is not clear enough for it to enter.“And he is also not sure about the second big controversy, Lamine’s ‘ghost goal’.
“With the images I think it’s a goal, but it’s like everything else. That LaLiga does not have goal technologyalthough Javier says that it doesn’t work in other leagues… I think that at least one camera on the stick that could have that image would have to be“said the former player.
