Robert Lewandowski He scored thirteen minutes into the match that Barcelona lost against Real Sociedad (1-0), the second defeat for the leader so far in the championship after Osasuna. Watching the action live it seems that the Pole’s position is correct, but this season the semi-automatic offside was installed and it is the machine that determines the situation.
Cuadra Fernandezthe referee, was waiting for what they told him from the VAR, and annulled the goal. The action is millimeter.
At rest, Hansi Flick He went to talk to the referee about what happened, and the conversation was captured by the Movistar+ cameras, especially the part about what the referee tells him. “But you say it’s not offside. What can I do? For you it is nothing because it is against your team,” says Cuadra Fernández. “If the VAR says it’s offside, why would we invent it? Listen to me, but why are we going to invent an offside?” he insists.
At a press conference, Flick insisted that it was the wrong decision. First, he was amused when they told him that he was seen talking to the angry referee. “I wasn’t angry,” he said. “It is a wrong decision, and we have to accept it, but today was not our day. We have generated few opportunities and we have made too many mistakes,” he said. “It’s not offside, it’s a wrong decision, but it’s not his mistake. We have to accept it. Of course, with 1-0 it would have been a different game,” he also added.
Iñaki Peña also commented on the action and believes that the machine may have confused his teammate’s boot with that of Real’s center back, Aguerd: “It is a possible error in the marking of Robert’s foot, let’s hope that LaLiga acts. If it was a mistake, let it be proven.”
