Alan Franco, defender for São Paulo, took to social media on Monday to express his indignation against the refereeing of the classic match against Palmeiras, which was won by Verdão, 3 to 2, in a comeback. In addition, he took the opportunity to gather other controversial plays in which Tricolor would have been prejudiced against the same rival.

In the story of his Instagram, he shared a post from a São Paulo fan page with screenshots of other controversial plays from other classics over the years, as well as some of the ones claimed by the club in last Sunday's match:

  • Calleri's goal annulled in the Copa do Brasil 2023;
  • Two penalties in favor of Palmeiras in Paulistão 2024 and 2025 and
  • Palmeiras' goal at the end of the classic in the first round of Brasileirão 2025.

São Paulo charges CBF and wants VAR audio

São Paulo's complaints did not stop at the post-game. On Monday, President Julio Casares posted a statement asking for the CBF protocol to be broken to release the audio between referee Ramon Abatti Abel and the VAR booth on the controversial plays of the classic.

The protocol provides for the release of audio only from the analysis of plays that were reviewed by the referee on the screen at the edge of the field. However, Abatti Abel did not go to the VAR monitor at any time, he only listened to the recommendations on the phone, in the center of the field.

Alan Franco mocks CBF protocol

On his Instagram profile, the defender criticized the CBF protocol of not releasing the VAR audio and added emojis of laughter and applause as a form of irony.
