The FC Barcelona demanded penalti by a hand of Of Marcos

In half of the existent controversy in LaLiga Santander 2018-19 with the decisions taken by the referees with the help of the VAR, this Sunday could live a new chapter of controversy in Saint Mamés, when hardly it did some minutes since there was die begin the second part. One of the defenders of the Athletic, Óscar of Marcos, controlled a balloon helping of the arm after a played offensive of the Barça that there was not assorted effect, after a confined of Luis Suárez.

The FC Barcelona had launched a balloon in long to look for to Luis Suárez in the interior of the area, but in the conflict of the Uruguayan with a defender of the Athletic the balloon went out repelled. Oscar of Marcos had the sufficient time as to accommodate the body to clear, but instead of this helped suspiciously of the arm to do it, before sending the balloon far of the area.

The VAR probably analysed the played, but the reality is that anybody warned to the referee that it rectified in his decision and signalled a hypothetical penalti, that would have come him of perlas to the FC Barcelona for encarrilar the meeting in front of a very hard rival as it went it the Athletic.

The case is that the referee no pitó and the played continued on its course, until it signalled a fault in which the players culés protested to Of the Big Hill that reviewed the previous action in the VAR. At the end, the referee left that it threw the fault and did not decree any maximum penalty. The controversy arrives just to throw more firewood to the fire to the Spanish arbitration, that is being very criticised in the last days.

The Athletic-Real Madrid, another focus of controversy

In the Athletic-Real Madrid of this Saturday, in fact, already gave some unfair decisions and very protested, like a penalti signalled in favour of the Real Madrid that it was out of the area, or a clear fault to Vinicius that was not pitada and derived in a back goal of Griezmann, before it cancelled , also unfairly, a goal to Álvaro Morata by offside non-existent.

The VAR comes under scrutiny, and those that more errors produce in the next dates, more critical will carry . What is undoubted, in any case, is that it treats of a tool that is helping to that resolve a lot of unfair situations, was in the party that was. When the errors affect to teams 'big', in any case, always there is a lot of more visibility.
