“Clear hand touch”: watch and vote

Barcelona suffered a third loss in a row at home in La Liga, and the Catalans lost the summit to Atlético Madrid, who came out of Montjuic with a prestigious 1:2 deep in extra time. However, the Catalan media highlighted a controversial event that could have changed the outcome of the match. The game, like all the Spanish league games, was broadcast on channel ONE for HOT subscribers, Yes subscribers, STING TV, Cellcom TV, Partner TV and FreeTv.

“The first incident that sparked an argument in the match between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid occurred when the referee Ricardo de Burgos had to listen to the VAR referees. “Barcelona players claimed a possible penalty offense committed by Giuliano Simeone in Jan Oblak’s penalty area,” wrote Catalonia.

The incident occurred in the 21st minute of the match. The Brazilian Rafinha sent a cross to the far side of the box, which went through the center and was blocked between Robert Lewandowski and Fermin Lopes. The ball appeared to graze the body of Marcos Llorente before hitting Giuliano’s hand.

“It was a clear hand touch, but de Burgos decided that it was not considered a foul, because he believed that the ball went out of bounds and that it was an accidental action. The hand was separated from the defender’s body and changed the trajectory of the ball, but both the head referee and the person in charge of the VAR determined that there was no reason for a penalty, and the game continued with a corner, which did not lead to a significant result for Atlético’s goal”, criticized the Catalan media.
