Barcelona scored the first goal of their Champions League tie against Lyon in the 18th minute of the second leg as Lionel Messi netted from the penalty spot, but refereeing expert Andujar Oliver doesn't believe Szymon Marciniak should have pointed to the spot.
Jason Denayer was judged to have fouled Luis Suarez, but the Uruguayan may have been the one to foul the defender.
"Marciniak got it wrong," Andujar Oliver said on Radio MARCA. "It's Suarez who steps on Denayer, not the other way around.
"I don't understand why it wasn't corrected through VAR."
Messi didn't worry about that, though, and converted with a Panenka.

I'm sure barca was going to win anyway Lyon did nothing in the two games The question is why they never punish suarez He is been doing that for decades I don't know if they encourage such behaviour or what !? Robin dived for couple games and referres never gave him penalties after that ,and the list is long !! Maybe just because he plays for barca !?

its a tackle from behind and not even touch the ball..whoever doubt it's a foul, should think that suarez have eyes at the back of his head to stomp on denayer foot

you should have watch the foul very well is an attempt because where he stretch his leg there is no ball there ...so is an attempt and is a foul ...what are you saying is not tackling the ball but he go for Tue leg but remove his leg later and it turn to attempt.. thank u

He didn’t step on the leg, the direct camera view made it look like he did, on the side camera view u will see it better Suarez’s leg was still suspended In motion about to touch. Take a critical look u will see it better

Finally they want what these experts in football refereeing, even during the use of VAR all the referees who are there are not able to judge if there is penalty or pad? noooon they must have respect for their colleagues park arbitration is not an easy job.
