🚨 Champions League: FC Barcelona lodge complaint with UEFA! | OneFootball

Barça strikes back!

Two days after their elimination in the Champions League quarter-finals on Atlético de Madrid’s pitch, FC Barcelona issued a statement on Thursday evening about the refereeing mistakes the Catalan club claims to have suffered over both matches, home and away.

In a message published shortly before 7 p.m. this Thursday, Barcelona announced that it had filed “a complaint with UEFA regarding the refereeing in the Champions League quarter-finals played against Atlético de Madrid.”

FC Barcelona’s statement:

“The club believes that, over the two matches as a whole, several refereeing decisions were made in violation of the Laws of the Game, resulting from an incorrect application of the rules and insufficient intervention by the VAR system in situations of clear importance.

According to FC Barcelona, the accumulation of these errors had a direct impact on the course of the matches and on the final outcome of the two-legged 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 cooperate with the organization with the aim of improving the refereeing system in order to ensure a stricter, fairer and more transparent application of the Laws of the Game.”

As a reminder, Pau Cubarsí had been sent off in the first leg; Eric García in the second leg in Madrid!
