"The club considers that, across both legs of the tie, several refereeing decisions were made that did not comply with the Laws of the Game, resulting from an incorrect application of the regulations and a lack of appropriate intervention by the VAR system in incidents of clear significance."
"The accumulation of these errors had a direct impact on the course of the matches and on the final outcome of the tie, causing significant sporting and financial harm to the club."
"Through this complaint, the club reiterates the requests previously made to UEFA and, at the same time, offers to collaborate with the organisation with the aim of improving the refereeing system to ensure a more rigorous, fair and transparent application of the Laws of the Game."
Barcelona has lodged a second complaint with UEFA, asserting that refereeing errors during their Champions League quarterfinal against Atlético Madrid caused significant harm. The club claims that multiple decisions did not adhere to the Laws of the Game and that the VAR system failed to intervene appropriately. Barcelona believes these mistakes directly influenced the match outcomes, leading to their elimination. They are seeking to improve refereeing standards and have previously raised concerns about a penalty and red card incident in the first leg, which UEFA deemed inadmissible.
