During the press conference preceding the Champions League match between Barça and Benfica, Hansi Flick, Barça coach, did not mince his words regarding a controversial refereeing decision during the Liga match against Getafe (1-1) . The action in question concerns a blatant shirt pulling by Christantus Uche on Jules Koundé in the area, not sanctioned by referee Pablo González Fuertes nor by the VAR.
Flick deplores recurring problems
Facing the press, Flick was incisive: “We don’t need VAR to see that it was an obvious penalty. What can I say? It’s clear to everyone. This type of situation repeats itself every match, and it becomes frustrating. The statement echoes the outrage expressed by club president Joan Laporta, who described the incident as “scandalous” and “shameful.”
At the same time, former international referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz took a position on this incident during the program El día después. He began by minimizing the “controversy”, before specifying: “The Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) announced at the start of the season that all shirt pulling in the area would be sanctioned. They do not respect their own commitment. » Lahoz added: “In this specific case, there is no need for long debates. The rules are clear, and the jersey draw is obvious. These kinds of situations discredit arbitration. The CTA should review its priorities and strictly apply the rules it defends. »
