Barcelona defender Lenglet has explained the controversy on his potential foul to Varane after the El Clasico.
Real Madrid asked for a possible penalty for Clement Lenglet's dangerous gesture over his compatriot Raphael Varane. The Barça defender said that "you can think it is a penalty", but recalled that "the VAR made a decision and it must be respected."
Lenglet: "I wanted to head the ball & used my legs for lift so I touched Varane. It's not a penalty. I'm the main character. I know I was going to clear the ball. Even if you check on VAR it's normal."
About the game, Lenglet said they leave "with the feeling of losing two points" and recalled that "we have also had chances, so we have a bittersweet feeling."
Analyzing the match, Clement said that "we have lacked more connection with the strikers. It was difficult because Madrid has played a good game."
Of course, Lenglet understands that in the Camp Nou "they come to defend themselves, unlike the Bernabéu, where they are obliged to always win."

What is Lenglet smoking? They lost 2 points? Madrid came to defend? The stats say a different story.

Sometimes the best thing to do is shut up when you don't have something to say, you could have been apologetic about it saying it wasn't intentional instead of trying to be smart. VAR is being biased. it's a problem, it was brought in football to solve these issues not create more. Same thing with the last minute penalty on piqué, they didn't whistle but earlier they game a penalty to sociedad for the same foul. This is just ruining the beauty of football.
