There was penalti to Messi in the Celta-Barça? Referee and VAR denied it

One of the played more controversies of the party between Celtic of Vigo and FC Barcelona, shelving the non-existent fault of Gerard Hammered just before the golazo of Iago Sails, went a possible penalti to Leo Messi that the VAR finish desestimando, of the same way that did the referee Squares Fernández. Shortly after that Smolov equalised the initial goal of Luis Suárez, in the second half, Messi received an entrance of Jacobo just after testing the shot.

The Argentinian star armed the leg and, when the balloon already had gone out sacked of his boot -above the goal of Rubén White- suffered the contact with the debutante Jacobo, the one who demolished him. Several players culés demanded penalti with vehemence, and after seeing the repetitions remains clear that Jacobo struck to Messi, although it could do it after the player of the Barça already had finished. It was then penalti?

To the not having already balloon of by half in the entrance, and taking into account that Leo Messi came of a position of offside after an action of Arturo Vidal, the VAR finish taking the decision to respect what had signalled the referee initially: kickoff of door.

Neither it is that the players of the FC Barcelona demanded with too much impetus, conscious already that there would be at all that do and that, lately, seems that the decisions of the referees and of the VAR are sideways of other teams.

The Barça protested other two actions

The case is that along the party also gave other susceptible actions of penalti that, after being reviewed, did not arrive to at all more. Gerard Hammered protested an agarrón of Araújo in the interior of the area of the Celtic, although the repetition left clear that it was a launch like the thousands that are used to give in this type of actions. A played that left some doubts more was a confined of Ansu Fati, that finish being demolished by Aidoo to base of strength and placing. The defender of the Galician group won him the position, although perhaps it happened of strength to the hour to avoid that Ansu took part.

The question is that the referee neither decreed penalti, that to have distinguished would have comported also a big controversial. The FC Barcelona finish leaving two very important points in Balaídos, that could be transcendental to determine to the champion of LaLiga Santander 2019-20. It will be necessary to see if the Real Madrid follows with his rhythm fulgurante or if, instead, leaves some point in the coming days.
