Last night, after a disappointing start to La Liga against Rayo Vallecano last week (0-0), Barça hit hard on the lawn of Real Sociedad (4-1). Xavi’s men, carried in particular by a Robert Lewandowski author of a double, made a very convincing copy. A meeting also marked by the very good match of Ousmane Dembélé, scorer for his third goal which drew the break.
But since the end of the meeting, Ousmane Dembélé finds himself at the center of the controversy. In question, an ugly gesture captured by the Movistar cameras from the 12th minute. In a duel with a Real defender, Dembouz nudges him, admittedly light, but in the face of the collapsing defender.
Fijaros en esta jugada que podría haber determinado el partido, en el minuto 11 apenas #dembele the mete un codazo at the altura de la cabeza a #aihen in my opinion is agression por lo cual el #VAR tendría que haber actuado que para eso está, ti esta jugada la sancionaria con #Roja pic.twitter.com/bMtGLq5yJ6

A gesture on which the referee of the meeting decided not to return, Dembélé not even being sanctioned with a yellow card. Enough to create a real controversy after the match and obviously in the program El Chiringuito, who had a great time discussing the bad gesture of Dembélé and the very questionable decision of the referee of the meeting …
? “ES una JUGADA de VAR. ¿Por qué no entra?”.
? “ES GRAVISIMO” ?

to summarize
If Barça managed a convincing performance against Real Sociedad (4-1), the post-match was marked by a controversy around a nudge from Ousmane Dembélé. The French winger seems not to have retained an unsanctioned bad gesture.
