πŸŽ™οΈ Joan Laporta to the club media about VAR.
πŸ—£οΈ: "As president of FC Barcelona, ​​I want to convey the dissatisfaction that a day after one of the most important matches on the world calendar, the misuse of a tool such as VAR is setting our agenda."
πŸŽ™οΈ Laporta continues ...
πŸ—£οΈ: "As you know, I have never been a great defender of VAR because I believe that, as it is applied, it takes away spontaneity from football. But what I am in favor of is that, since we have it, it should always be used to avoid errors that could lead to unfair decisions.”
πŸŽ™οΈ Laporta continues ...
πŸ—£οΈ: "With this appearance that I am making, I not only want to reflect the discomfort of the Barcelona fans due to the poor management that was done yesterday of the VAR, but to emphasize that despite being a tool that has been around for some time it continues to cause confusion and contradictory criteria depending on the parties and teams."
πŸŽ™οΈ Laporta continues ...
πŸ—£οΈ: "As president of FC Barcelona, ​​I also want to highlight the power of our competition and emphasize that we are a successful competition followed by millions of followers everywhere, but that does not mean we can remain untouched by criticism when the use of VAR undervalues ​​our competition."
πŸŽ™οΈ Laporta continues ...
πŸ—£οΈ: "We understand the difficulty of the referee's work but precisely for that reason There are tools (such as VAR ) that should help have a fairer competition and not the other way around."
πŸŽ™οΈ Laporta on Lamine's disallowed goal.
πŸ—£οΈ: "Yesterday there were several debatable plays but among all of them there is one that is essential and that can lead to a change in the final result of the game. I am referring to the so-called Lamine ghost goal . As a club we want to be sure about what happened and that is why I inform you that from FC Barcelona we will immediately request the Technical Committee of Referees and the Spanish Football Federation to provide us with all the images and audio generated by the play.”
πŸŽ™οΈ Laporta on possible actions taken.
πŸ—£οΈ: "If, once this documentation has been analyzed, the Club understands that an error occurred in the assessment of the play, we will implement all the appropriate actions to reverse the situation without, obviously, ruling out any necessary legal proceedings . If it is confirmed that it was a legal goal, we will go further and do not rule out asking for a replay of the match , just as has happened in a European match due to a VAR error."
πŸ—£οΈ - Joan Laporta: "Finally, I want to emphasize that although we will focus on this play, we also disagree with various actions during the course of the match that, although they could be consulted in the VAR , this tool was ignored by the referee in an incomprehensible way."
πŸ—£οΈ - Joan Laporta: "Members and fans of BarΓ§a : this position of the Club is neither gratuitous nor advantageous, but rather an action that is forced upon us by the situation we live in of defenselessness and having suffered. numerous actions on the field of play that some have harmed us and others have benefited our rival, and that together show the distance in points that exists at the top of LaLiga.”
