Calendar of FC Barcelona

The referee's controversies have turned into the bread of each day for the FC Barcelona. In spite of being one of the teams that better handles the balloon and that more opportunities of goal generates by party, the true is that the quantity of faults that receives inside the area seems little chord to the reality.

In fact, since it began the campaign have been contabilizadas until eight clear faults that had to be earned like penalti but that neither the referees neither the VAR have wanted to sentence. In the split suspender belts in front of the Ray Vallecano, Seville, Cádiz, Celtic and Real Madrid there was derribos in the area, whereas in front of the Mallorca in Sound Moix existed a hand of Antonio Raíllo that did not have penalty.

However, in Champions is where have occurred the infringements that more have prejudiced to the Barça. Alphonso Davies him propinó a zancadilla scandalous to Ousmane Dembélé in the Allianz Sand that did not have repercussions, whereas in the visit to the Inter of Milan the VAR did case omiso to a clear hand of Denzel Dumfries that it could change the final result.

With all this on the table, to the Barcelona do not have him pitado a penalti in favour in the last 20 parties of League and in the last 10 of Champions League, a data demoledor taking into account the sinfín of opportunities of arrivals to the rival area that keep the culés in his commitments.

It touches to make a fresh start

Like this the things, to the ones of Xavi Hernández does not remain them of another more than being conclusive in his advanced to the rival area, since the 'luck' does not seem to be of his side when of penaltis treats . So much Ousmane Dembéle, like Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski will have to shelve the speech against the referees and be more effective to the moment to send the balloon at the end of the network. The controversies will continue, but the Barcelona have to forge his own way.
