Calendar of FC Barcelona

This Saturday, the FC Barcelona achieved to impose of to a large extent against the Sportive Alavés in the Camp Nou, in a party in which there were moments of uncertainty when the vitorianos marked by mediation of Rioja (2-1) but that finished in a tremenda goleada of the culés (5-1).

In the minute 36 of the party, the referee's controversy went out to relucir by an interpretation of the VAR that outraged to the technical body and to the footballers of the FC Barcelona. In concrete, by a goal cancelled of Leo Messi by a theorist offside of Antoine Griezmann, that was entirely on line with the rival defence.

When the Argentinian drilled the rival goal, the main referee Figueroa Vázquez gave the goal like valid but later Squares Fernández, at the head of the VAR, decreed that the action had to be invalidated, by what the second goal of the Barcelona group did not finish going up to the marker. Curiously, in the Dutch league himself had cost the action.

It explained it Aitor Lagoons, in a tuit in which it showed the criterion of the Eredivisie. "In you went of game so adjusted like the one of Griezmann one misses the Dutch system The Eredivisie -against the criterion of the FIFA- throws two lines of 5 centimetres of width. If the lines sobreponen, the VAR does not go in and keeps the decision of the referees of field".

It had to cancel?

The referee's analyst of 'Sportive World', César Barrenechea Montero, explained to his jucio how saw the action. "The technology indicates that it is offside, the lines command. But in my opinion it would be necessary to touch the subject of the VAR and leave to the footballers a margin of action because take the perpendicular of a shoulder of a forward against the boot of the defence can give place to that they do not understand according to which decisions or to that doubt of them", explained.

The expert of said media added that "to my seems me excessive cancel like this a goal, happen him to the one who happen him. I think that would have to retouch a bit this rule, leave a margin for the doubt and cancel if the position of offside is clear". By his part, Ronald Koeman did not have any doubt: "I do not go to go in. It has surprised me, it is not offside. But at the end we have won the party. I do not want to speak more".
