The FC Barcelona has been again leading of a controversial arbitration in his against in the tie against the Ray Vallecano (1-1). In this occasion, the complaints arose by the omission of two positions advanced previous to the annotation of Unai López in the minute 39 and a penalti no sanctioned to Raphinha in the minute 94. Both actions were keys so that the 'franjirrojos' could keep the parity in the meeting, in front of a Barça that has seen again with notorious fail in his game.
In relation with the controversy, everything began with a free shot executed by López, which was sent to the area where, in the moment of the launching, Óscar Valentín seemed to be in position advanced after the first sending. Nevertheless, Alejandro Balde cleared the first sending and, later, Iñigo Martínez interposed in the shot aroused after the refuse of the left side. However, the most demanded action was the second position advanced.
In this played, Unai López received the balloon in his feet and took out a powerful shot inatajable. Nevertheless, Valentín, the one who was involved in the previous controversy, found clearly in position advanced and formed indirect part of the played when being in the path of the balloon, what hampered the vision of the goalkeeper Iñaki Crag. This action was reviewed by the VAR and, later, the referee of the meeting, Munuera Montero, finished validating the annotation.
The penal no pitado to Raphinha
That did not go to be the only questionable decision that the Barça went to suffer in the party, since in the minute 94, near of the end of the party, produced a possible fault inside the area that was not sanctioned in favour of the culés. In this played, Raphinha had to receive the balloon, when his nearer marker, Pacha Espino, in a desperate attempt for removing him the balloon to the Brazilian, finished sticking his left leg with the left leg of the ex of the Leeds, propinándole a strong patada in which, fits to stand out, did not do contact with the balloon at all.
This action, without mattering the context and if it was or no penalti, because of his rigorous nature, could have been perfectly reviewed by the VAR. However, to give him even more body to the questionable day of the judges in Vallecas, the videoarbitraje shined by his absence in a played that, to having been validated after the analysis, could have meant the definite goal (1-2) for the Barcelona team.
