The Azulgrana youth player was brought down inside the area when he was looking to shoot at goal, in an action that could have meant 2-0 and put the final on track for Hansi Flick&#8217;s team.<\/p>  <p><strong>Neither De Burgos Bengoetxea nor the VAR considered the play worthy of review<\/strong>, fueling the indignation of the players and Cul\u00e9 fans.<\/p>  <h2>Second controversy: Ceballos on Cubars\u00ed<\/h2>  <p>Minutes later, <strong>Dani Ceballos<\/strong> again brought down <strong>Cubars\u00ed<\/strong> in the area. The young Azulgrana defender, one of the revelations of the season, was the object of a very clear obstruction that went unnoticed by the referee and the VAR team led by <strong>Gonz\u00e1lez Fuertes<\/strong>.<\/p>  <p>Again, <strong>no review or sanction<\/strong>, leaving Bar\u00e7a without another opportunity to increase their advantage at a crucial moment in the match.<\/p>  <h2>Third play: penalty by R\u00fcdiger on Ferran Torres<\/h2>  <p>In the last play of regular time, <strong>Antonio R\u00fcdiger<\/strong> committed a very clear penalty on <strong>Ferran Torres<\/strong>. The Azulgrana forward was run over inside the area when he was about to finish what could have been the definitive 3-2.<\/p>  <p>Far from going to the monitor, <strong>De Burgos Bengoetxea let the game continue, while the VAR remained silent<\/strong>. A very serious error that, according to many analysts, changed the course of the final.<\/p>  <p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/en\/X7YTBSot4a\" target=\"_blank\">See here Barrenechea Montero&#8217;s analysis of the penalty on Ferran<\/a>.<\/p>  <h2>The penalty on Raphinha: from being awarded to being overturned<\/h2>  <p>The only time the referee awarded a penalty in favor of Bar\u00e7a was after an action by <strong>Asensio on Raphinha<\/strong>. However, after consulting the VAR, De Burgos decided to overturn his own decision and caution the Brazilian player for alleged simulation.<\/p>  <p>The play, full of controversy, generated a wave of indignation on social networks and among arbitration experts, who consider that, although the contact may have been slight, <strong>there were not sufficient reasons to sanction Raphinha with a yellow card<\/strong>.<\/p>  <p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/en\/MovistarFutbol\/status\/1916253526361047204\" target=\"_blank\">See the review of the penalty on Raphinha here<\/a>.<\/p>  <h3>The question many are asking: why weren&#8217;t the actions reviewed?<\/h3>  <ol> <li>Why didn&#8217;t they review Valverde&#8217;s penalty on Cubars\u00ed?<\/li> \t<li>Why didn&#8217;t they review Ceballos&#8217; penalty on Cubars\u00ed?<\/li> \t<li>Why didn&#8217;t they review R\u00fcdiger&#8217;s penalty on Ferran?<\/li> \t<li>Why didn&#8217;t they review Tchouameni&#8217;s criminal tackle on Dani Olmo?<\/li> <\/ol> <h2>A pattern that repeats itself: recent precedents<\/h2>  <p>The refereeing performance in this Cup final is not an isolated case.
