VAR made a mistake, Barça is shocked

FC Barcelona lost on Sunday evening against Real Sociedad (1-0), but the Catalan club is convinced of having been the victim of a crude rear of the video assistance to the referees.

Barça had not lost in La Liga since their defeat at Osasuna on September 28, but in the absence of Lamine Yamal, Flick's team got back on land against Real Sociedad. However, an incident of play weighed heavily in this result, since in the 13th minute, Lewandowski saw his goal refused in an offside position signaled by the VAR used semi-automatically in Spain. The referee therefore canceled the Polish striker's goal based on this quick analysis, except that the images broadcast a little later clearly suggest that the tool used by the referees had a bug.

In fact, the semi-automatic VAR confused the foot of Robert Lewandowski and that of Nayef Aguerd, the Moroccan central defender of Real Sociedad, who was therefore covering the Barça striker. The damage having been done, the Barcelona leaders only have their eyes left to cry, but obviously for La Liga it is a big problem to know that the tool supposed to help avoid referees' errors causes them. Because initially, the referee had indeed awarded the goal to FC Barcelona.
