Scandal in Sevilla - Barcelona! Illegal goal? A VAR error ignites controversy

The match between Sevilla and Barcelona on matchday 23 of LaLiga EA Sports has left a significant refereeing controversy. It all happened during Sevilla's equalizing goal, where the SAOT (semi-automatic offside technology) determined that Ronald Araujo was enabling the goal, but new images have seriously called this decision into question.

🔥 The evidence that ignites the controversy

According to the analysis from the specialized account ‘VAR Archive’, the technology would have made a key error. When drawing the offside lines, it is evident that Araujo was not the last player of Barça, but rather Íñigo Martínez was further back.

🧐 Detected errors:
✅ Saúl was offside at the moment of the pass.
✅ Íñigo Martínez was the last man of Barça, not Araujo.
✅ The goal by Sevilla should have been disallowed.

🔴 A serious mistake that could have changed the course of the match.

A match marked by controversy. The game started with a lot of intensity. Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for Barcelona, but just seconds later, Sevilla equalized with the disputed goal from Vargas.

The players of the azulgrana team appealed to the referee, but the SAOT showed images in which, by millimeters, Araujo seemed to enable the goal. Now, with this new analysis, doubts remain about the reliability of the system.

🚨 Is this a recurring problem with VAR?

This is not the first time that semi-automatic offside has generated controversy. Since its implementation, there have been several plays where a possible error in the placement of the lines has been indicated.

📢 Should the use of SAOT in LaLiga be reviewed? Barcelona fans are exploding on social media, demanding explanations after a possible illegal goal by Sevilla.

💬 What do you think? Do you believe that VAR got it right or was it a refereeing mistake that harmed Barcelona?
