The FC Barcelona of Xavi Hernández has had several heights and low since the technician arrived to the bench of the Camp Nou, but something that has seemed to be a constant during almost all this stage has been the debatible referee's criterion that has suffered the team. Although in League also has been prejudiced, in European competition is where the culés more have suffered, especially with possible penaltis in favour.
All the controversy on this has gone back to appear after two actions in front of the Manchester United in the Europe League. The own technician culé expressed that "it is a penalti like a cathedral" in reference to the hand of Fred when it ran the minute 85, and in which the Barça could have taken advantage of to go out with the triumph of a complicated party of gone in front of the English.
Now, this omission, or decision, of the Italian referee has stressed a statistics that has to the culés with only a penalti sanctioned to his favour in his last 41 meetings. Memphis Depay Marked in front of the Eintracht Frankfurt (2-3) does almost a year the last so much from the 11 metres for the Barça, to what adds the one who erró Robert Lewandowski in front of the Almería the past month of November.
The cases accumulate
In this time, added to the parties that have arrived after the World-wide, have happened several actions in which the Barça could have been benefited with a penalti, but the distinct referees did not see it of this way. Only with looking the phase of groups of the Champions League of this course goes out to relucir that action of Alphonso Davies to Ousmane Dembélé in the field of the Bayern when the party still was 0.0.
Few days afterwards would arrive the defeat by the minimum in Italy with an Inter that went clearly benefited to the have not been sanctioned the hand Dumfries, that even had another played very alike, although much less evident. Already in the Classical in the Bernabéu in front of the Real Madrid, that finished with triumph merengue, there was a potential fault on Lewy of part of Carvajal and finished in the at all.
