"I didn't harm Barça during the match against Inter. My decisions were in favor of Barça, and VAR had to correct me. My decisions were in favor of Barça because I didn't award a penalty. VAR called me over, showed me the replay."
"Then, I awarded the penalty. They corrected me because the penalty was four or five centimeters from the line. So, if we're honest, I made two decisions in favor of Barça, but they corrected me. That's life, isn't it?"
