The Champions League is to so alone hours to define to the last two teams that will be in the next draw of quarter-finals. Benfica, AC Milan, Chelsea, Manchester City, Bayern and Inter of Milan already are inside the following eliminatory round, although these last two teams leave a big sinsabor in the dispatches and technical body of the FC Barcelona.

So many Italians like Germans crossed with the Barcelona in the designated group of the death during the first phase of the competition, leaving them relegados to the Europe League and without knowing the defeat in front of the culés. However, there were several actions that determined the elimination of the Barça and have been the referees those that were protagonists in two key commitments.

Bad execution of the VAR

The first meeting in front of the Bavarians in Germany left very good feelings during the first-half, with a Barcelona hambriento and with the clearest opportunities to open the marker. In spite of this, went the decisions of the referee Danny Makkiele and of the judge of the VAR Pol go Boekel those that prejudiced the good start of the Catalans.

Both did case omiso to a clear zancadilla of Alphonso Davies on Ousmane Dembélé inside the area, what could change drastically the course of the meeting if the penalti was decreed and later converted. The 0-1 in the first part had been the reward deserved after the good exert of the team and the 2-0 final of the Teutonics never had concretised .

Scandal in Italy

The following party was in front of the Inter in the Giusseppe Meazza and again the Dutch referee was designated in the cabin of the VAR. Although the 'nerazzurri' imposed in the marker after a big finish of Hakan Calhanoglu, the true is that they Go Boekel went back to be leading by double game with his abysmal decisions.

The referee cancelled him a goal to Pedri by a hand more than questionable of Ansu Fati that not even modify the path of the balloon, although what greater itch caused was his refusal to sentence a penalti of Denzel Dumfries by a much clearer hand that the one of the '10' blaugrana. The transalpinos carried the meeting and the Barça could not enderezar the way home in the commitments of turn.
