Barcelona complain to Uefa over missed penalty in the Champions League | OneFootball

Barcelona has filed a complaint with UEFA over a penalty that was not awarded in its favor in Wednesday’s (8) match against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League.

The club published an official statement requesting the opening of an investigation, with access to the communication between the referees.

The disputed incident took place nine minutes into the second half, during an Atlético de Madrid goal kick.

Goalkeeper Musso put the ball back into play by touching it to the side. Immediately afterward, defender Pubill handled the ball and took the goal kick again.

Barcelona fans and players protested at the time of the incident, but the penalty was not awarded and VAR did not intervene.

The Catalan club’s official statement describes the case as a “serious error” for not respecting the rules of the game.

“Along these same lines, FC Barcelona considers that this is not the first time in recent editions of the UEFA Champions League that incomprehensible refereeing decisions have had a harmful effect on the team,” the text says.
