"FC Barcelona understands that this decision, along with a grave lack of intervention by VAR, represents a major error. Accordingly, the club has requested an investigation be opened, access to refereeing communications, and where applicable, official acknowledgment of the errors and the adoption of the relevant measures."
"The VAR was very focused today for Atletico. I don't know what happens in the situation where the goalkeeper starts the game and the defender stops it with the hand and then plays again. For me it is a clear red card - well a double yellow - and then a red card and penalty."
Barcelona has lodged a complaint with UEFA regarding insufficient VAR intervention during their 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. A penalty was denied when Atletico's Marc Pubill handled the ball in the box, despite Barcelona's appeals. The club believes the refereeing did not comply with current laws, affecting the game's outcome. They have requested an investigation, access to refereeing communications, and acknowledgment of the errors. Atletico led 1-0 after a free-kick goal, and a second goal sealed their victory.
