In a key La Liga match, Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1, but a penalty in the game caused controversy after the match.
During the match, Gerard Martin stepped on Atletico Madrid player Almada after a pass. The referee initially showed him a red card, but cancelled the red card after watching VAR. The Spanish Football Association announced the dialogue between the referee and VAR during the reversal process.
In the dialogue, VAR suggested that the referee review the play to assess whether to cancel the red card. VAR said: "I think the Barcelona player handled the ball in a normal way, it was a normal contact. He passed the ball first, and then naturally came into contact with the Atletico Madrid player."
The referee then confirmed: "The Barcelona player handled the ball while controlling it, and the subsequent contact was a normal challenge. I will cancel the red card and change it to a yellow card."

This is shocking. This is a shame. I mean Barcelona is capable.of winning the league without all these clownish behaviour by referees and VAR

This is the key reason Barcelona has less European trophies because Spanish refs are not available to favor them. Imagine when last Barcelona won ucl. Am not surprised at all

The point at which you took your screenshot is totally wrong. It was a 50/50 and they both hit the ball, but the Atletico player came off worse. It's that simple. Complain about the fake penalties your team has been getting. 🤡

You can play the ball and still break your opponent's foot. It is called extension and it's punishable
