The FC Barcelona began of the best possible way the turn of quarter-finals in front of Paris Saint-Germain, but these merits futbolísticos lasted him only half hour of party in front of the Frenchmen. Shortly before the minute 30 of the first time would begin the seguidilla of errors and of decisions at least questionable by part of the referee of the party Istvan Kovacs, the one who began for signalling a fault to the edge of the area culé that finish with a red for Ronald Araújo.

In that action, Barcola received a balloon in long and Araújo treated of the brake him, hitting very mildly with his forearm between the neck and the face of the forward of the PSG. The referee did not doubt and showed him the direct red card to the defence of the Barça, something that would unchain in the loss of the control of the party by part of the Barcelona group, which until this moment won 1-0 and presented a big defensive work to contain to the ones of Luis Enrique.

Araújo Went to the terracing by a contact what less debatable

That error, which even the exárbitro Iturralde González thought in the 'BE' that was not neither fault, had an enormous impact in the eliminatory, something that expects in a party of maximum level in which one of the teams will have to play with one less more than two thirds of the meeting. Further of if Kovacs hits in the red or no, since Barcola left direct to the goal, although without the balloon controlled it is necessary to highlight, the reality is that the fault does not seem so clear yet still decided to keep his posture, even without consulting with the image of the VAR that had available.

From there the party changed and the Barça had to begin to try defend the greater quantity of possible time to finish the first time without receiving goal, although finally it could not be. But perhaps the greater problem of everything is that the questionable decisions and controversies of the referee Romanian did not detain in that red to Araújo, something that worsened even more the situation of the Barcelona team.

Three red in total for the Barça and a penalti that could have changed everything

Shortly after it decided that Xavi Hernández had to leave of the Barcelona bench by a protest that in the images does not see too exaggerated by part of the egarense, and like this continue the party the referee. After two red, Kovacs could allow that the Barça put of full in the party, although in his assessment, Vitinha does not do penalti on Ilkay Gündogan in the start of the second time, in spite of hitting the right leg of the German with a lot of clarity.

Already when it had fulfilled the minute 60, Gündo ingresó to the area of the PSG and the mediocampista Portuguese tried to close of a reckless way, finishing in a clear contact with the German, but everything finish in shot of door and a yellow card to the own player culé by his protests, in addition to another red to another member of the staff Barcelona and a very particular publication of the own club in his account of X. No satisfied with this, and with the global marker equalised to four goals, the referee signalled a penalti of Joao Cancel on Ousmane Dembélé.

And it is that further of the failure of criterion of the Portuguese for doing a so aggressive entrance with the forward of backs to the goal of Ter Stegen, again the contact does not seem so conclusive as it does it see the player of the PSG, having even an impact in the balloon by part of the side. However, penalti and 1-3 in that moment for the Parisians, which in that moment yes that began to sentence the eliminatory in front of a Barça that already showed desquiciado by so many doubtful actions that signalled in his against.
