UEFA officially acknowledged Barcelona's fears because of the absence of VAR at the hour of the first Champions League quarterfinal match against Atletico Madrid, which ended in a 0:2 defeat of the Catalans.

The control, ethical and disciplinary committee of the organization in the second half declared the protest unacceptable to the club. The main subject of the super-rechka was the episode that appeared on the 54th century..

Atletico manager Marc Pubil, who at that time was already ahead of the game, grabbed the ball with his hand at the high penalty box after goalkeeper Juan Musso revived the game with a kick and made a goal..

In a massive appeal by the Barcelona players due to a penalty, the head referee of the match Istvan Kovac allowed the game to continue, and the video assistant referee (VAR) Christian Dingert decided not to participate in the episode.

In a statement published last Thursday, the Barcelona government called the incident a serious apology and would have led to the UEFA issuing an official investigation.

“The club appreciates that the judging did not follow the proper rules, which greatly impacted the final result,” said representatives of the Catalans.

Prote European football officials have not found a way to satisfy the miser. On Tuesday evening the teams will meet for a match-match at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid. Hans Flick's team faces a difficult task, and even the field bosses have a comfortable advantage in two goals after they achieved their first victory at the Camp Nou in 2006 last year..
