Barça faces a 'war' against the arbitration controversies

The Barça has been notably affected by the referee's controversies in the first days of the new season of LaLiga EA Sports. The erroneous interventions of the VAR, so much in the review of images as in the interpretation of the played of offside, together with the fault of a criterion unified in some decisions of the judges, have cost him some points to the cast of Xavi.

In the opening duel of the contest Spanish suspender belt against the Getafe CF, began the periplo of what up to now have been a series of questionable referee's decisions. There are a lot of things that stand out on the performance to Cease Soto Degree, but definitely the more reseñable was the no sanction of a penalti in favour of Ronald Araújo in the minute 110, in spite of having a flagrant fault committed by Gastón Álvarez inside the area against the defender charrúa. The referee decided to invalidate the action because of a presumptive hand of Gavi in a played previous, a so involuntary hand like questionable, which the technician of Terrassa described as "invented" and that the Technical Committee of Referees desestimó, considering that it was not punishable.

In the duel in front of 'Yellow Submarine' the controversy also did present

In the meeting against the Villarreal CF, in the so much of the tie 2-2 annotated by Alexander Sorloth, the judge Valentín Pizarro Gómez reviewed the played by a presumptive position advanced, that in reality was valid. The VAR made a mistake when tracing the line, since it took the knee of the 'killer' Norwegian like reference to determine the offside, when in reality the part of the most advanced body was his head, that would have to have taken into account to invalidate the goal.

No only it has been the videoarbitraje, because along these three days the FC Barcelona has suffered a big permissiveness to the rivals by part of the referees regarding the faults committed. So much 'azulones' as gaditanos, groups that characterise by his strong physical game, had free road to develop his performance without restrictions. In the meantime, the players of the Barça received yellow cards by actions much less grave, as it was the case of three of the four players admonished in the party against the Cádiz CF, that were sanctioned by supposed protests that were not so vehement like the ones of the players of the others teams.

The referee's criterion seems not being unified

If at the end LaLiga EA Sports decides by a small difference of points, these controversial will be remembered, especially when it values the fact that in the another side, the arbitration seems to have been less severe and even complaciente, as in the case of the hand of Jude Bellingham in Saint Mamés, whose goal could have been perfectly cancelled, or the invalidation of the target of the Celtic by a presumptive fault of Larsen on Kepa. All this has occurred in hardly three days of the Spanish contest, what indicates a pattern that expects that it do not keep along this season.
