Barcelona's coach backed the use of VAR after critical decisions marred their 1-0 victory against Rayo Vallecano, where Robert Lewandowski's penalty was awarded after a VAR review. The match saw Rayo frustrated by a denied penalty and an invalidated equaliser. Despite the controversies, Barcelona rose to the top of LaLiga, albeit only on goal difference over Real Madrid. The coach applauded his team's effort while recognizing room for improvement, emphasizing the difficulty of the match and the strength of their opponent.
"I haven't rewatched the incidents but I will always stand by the VAR. We have the VAR and I believe in the VAR, that's all I can say about it."
"Everyone is happy and I think we played well, but we can also do better. I think it was a great success for us, winning here today and moving to first place, it's very positive."
