FC Barcelona is in turmoil after its defeat (0-1) against Real Sociedad on Sunday evening, marked by a controversial goal from Robert Lewandowski canceled for offside. Despite the domination of the Basque team, the Catalans believe they were unfairly deprived of an opening goal in the 13th minute. Lewandowski’s goal, initially validated, was finally canceled by VAR for a supposed offside position, but Barcelona claims a foot identification error, confusing that of the Polish striker with that of Nayef Aguerd.
Hansi Flick and players demand investigation
Coach Hansi Flick and the players denounced what they consider to be a serious refereeing error.
“To err is human, but this is a big mistake. La Liga must investigate »insisted Flick. Same story for Iñaki Peña: “If VAR makes such an error, it is imperative that action be taken”. Despite the Catalan indignation, the Technical Commission of Referees confirmed the accuracy of the decision, after viewing the images from ten different angles, thus reinforcing the controversy.
