This action caused a great anger at Hansi Flickwho for the first time was seen visibly angry with the referee, in this case Cuadra Fernández, whom he asked for explanations at half-time. A conversation that Movistar cameras captured.
“What can I do? If the VAR tells us that it’s offside, why would we invent it? For you it’s nothing because it’s against your team,” the referee explained Cuadra Fernandez to the Barça coach, who continued to insist that the action was not illegal. “Listen to me… but why are we going to invent an offside?”declared the Balearic referee.

“I told him that Lewandowski’s offside was a bad decision. That’s all I can say. It was a wrong decision. It’s not your fault and I know it. That’s what I can say. Nothing more,” the German told the press at the end of the clash. “There is a possible error in the marking of Robert’s foot. Let’s hope that if there is such a serious error, LaLiga will act. If it was a mistake, let it be proven, investigated and acted upon.“added the goalkeeper Iñaki Peña when asked.
