FC Barcelona, its fans, and the pundits who cover the club are outraged by an audio recording from the VAR room taken during Sunday’s 4-3 triumph over arch rival Real Madrid in El Clasico.
The Catalans entered the latest edition of the world’s biggest derby disheartened following Tuesday’s painful Champions League semifinal second leg defeat to Inter Milan.
Once more, Hansi Flick’s young side went 2-0 down early, but managed to come back to lead the tie for the first time 3-2 ahead of Inter goals in the 93rd and 99th minute which dashed dreams of an incredible quadruple title grab.
Barcelona has little time to brush itself up and prepare for a fourth 2024/2025 confrontation with its bitter rival in Montjuic over the weekend.
Prior to kickoff, there were concerns about Barcelona’s mental and physical exhaustion from a punishing 120 minutes of play at the San Siro.
True to trend, they once again allowed a formidable opponent to lead 2-0, this time thanks to a brace from Kylian Mbappe.

Fortunately for Culers, Barcelona came back to overcome the deficit and led 4-2 at halftime. Because Madrid only managed to score another goal, the home team won and now leads La Liga by seven points with three games remaining.
Lamine Yamal appeared to be fouled by Dani Ceballos on the move that culminated in Mbappe’s second goal, but nothing was called, and Barcelona was also denied a penalty when Aurelien Tchouameni appeared to handle the ball in his own penalty box.
“There you have it, a shot on goal. We don’t have many more powerful cameras,” remarked VAR referee Juan Martinez Munuera, as reported by SPORT.
