"I'm always concerned about refereeing. I'm not saying I should be suspicious, but I am. And yes, I'm concerned because sometimes the same standards aren't applied."
"To say that Real Madrid beat Atlético because of the referees would be fanatical and a very superficial statement, but there are some decisions that, had VAR intervened, would have changed the course of the match."
"If it had happened at the Camp Nou, perhaps VAR would have intervened and called a foul. And sometimes they say, 'But it happened there too.' For every one that happens here, there are eight there."
Concerns about refereeing standards and VAR intervention in football matches are highlighted. There is a belief that certain decisions could have changed match outcomes if VAR had been applied consistently. The speaker notes that while attributing a win solely to refereeing is superficial, discrepancies in decision-making between venues are evident. The speaker suggests that incidents at one stadium are not equally matched by those at another, indicating a perceived bias in officiating.
