It was not the only questionable decision that affected to the Barcelona in the party. In the minute 94, near of the end, produced a possible fault inside the area that was not sanctioned in favour of the culés. In this played, Pacha Espino, in a desperate attempt for removing him the balloon to Raphinha, stuck his left leg with the one of the Brazilian, propinándole a strong patada without contact with the balloon.
The possible penalti seemed evident, but the VAR did not interpret it like this. After the party, Xavi expressed his firmness in front of the referee's decisions that is receiving the group culé this season: "we are not having luck in these referee's decisions, is going out us cross: Getafe, Granada...
