šØ Gerard PiquĆ©’s comments on yesterdayās events š:
š “What happened at the Vallecano stadium was disgraceful. The refereeing decisions were shocking, but the victory masked the issues and made everyone forget. Thatās not logical.”
š “A Vallecano player handled the ball in the penalty area, but the referee didn’t award a penalty, treating it like a handball. VAR was present but ignored the incident.”
š “Additionally, a Vallecano player tackled Olmoās leg without touching the ball, which was clear to everyone, but no action was taken.”
š “I believe what happened was intentional due to the poor decision on Pedriās leg, where the referee only gave a yellow card and didnāt check VAR.”
š “Itās obvious they want us to falter. It was apparent when they assigned Manzano for this round, and now they’ve chosen Grado, the same referee who failed to count Lamineās goal in the last Clasico despite it crossing the line. The capital doesnāt want Barcelona to keep winning.”
