It is a very bitter defeat that Barça brought back from their trip to Milan. The Blaugrana club, beaten at San Siro by a voluntary interist team (0-1), nevertheless put the sporting dimension behind the more controversial one of arbitration, which continues to be controversial. The decisions of the referee of the meeting, Slavko Vincic, have been talked about and it is not the last revelation on the subject that will change the situation.
Sky Sports journalist Guilhem Balagué indeed revealed that the referee, returning to a hand from Dumfries in the area which should have been worth a penalty, would have explained to the Barcelonans that he had seen that this hand had been committed not by Dumfries but by Ansu Fati. That the referee on the field is wrong, still passes, but obviously, the referees of the VAR would have been of the same opinion which therefore led to this lunar decision …
Xavi cracked a year later on the arbitration…
Moreover, the journalist of the Team Florent Torchut took a malicious pleasure to note the crack of Xavi on the subject of the arbitration. A year ago, the Spanish coach assured that he still refused to attack the referees and the VAR for a “very difficult task”. Which contrasts with his indignation and the “injustice” pointed out by the Barcelona coach a year later, who even summoned the referee to come and explain…
Xavi 1 year ago: “I will never talk about referees and VAR. It is a very difficult task, sometimes they can help you & sometimes harm you”
Xavi Tuesday: “I’m outraged, it’s an injustice, the referee should come and explain” ?pic.twitter.com/U0MzBrTFJn— Florent Torchut ?? (@FlorentTorchut) October 6, 2022
to summarize
On the side of Barcelona, we can not digest the errors of arbitration during the defeat of Barça on the lawn of Inter Milan. Especially since the referee gave surprising justifications. The latter simply saw the hand of a bad player.
