Laporta attacks the VAR: Barcelona does not rule out “asking for a replay” of the classic | VIDEO

Joan Laportapresident of Barcelona, ​​does not rule out asking for a repeat of the League Classic that ended with a victory for Real Madrid (3-2), if it is finally proven that Lamine Yamal’s ghost goal was legal.

“As a club we want to be sure about what happened and that is why from FC Barcelona we will immediately request the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to provide us with all the images and audios that generated the play,” Laporta explained in an institutional appearance broadcast by the Barça entity’s media.

Laporta insisted that, “if once this documentation has been analyzed, the club understands that an error occurred in the assessment of the play,” they will implement “all appropriate actions to reverse the situation without, obviously, ruling out the judicial proceedings that are needed.”

And that “if it is confirmed that it was a legal goal,” Barça does not rule out “requesting a replay of the match, as has happened in a European match due to a VAR error.”

Beyond the play of Lamine Yamal’s ghost goal, Joan Laporta also said that he “disagreed with various actions during the course of the match that, while being able to be consulted in the VAR, this tool was ignored by the referee in an incomprehensible way.”

“As president of FC Barcelona, ​​I want to convey the dissatisfaction that a day after one of the most important matches on the world calendar, the misuse of a tool like the VAR is setting our agenda,” lamented Laporta, who wanted to justify before the culés members and fans the position adopted by the entity after the arbitration that the team suffered at the Bernabéu.

“We are experiencing a situation of defenselessness due to having suffered numerous actions on the field of play that some have harmed us and others have benefited our rival, and that together show the distance in points that exists at the top of LaLiga,” he summarized.
