Barcelona Lodges Formal Complaint with UEFA Over “Grave Lack of VAR Intervention” in Atletico Madrid Loss
Barcelona has officially lodged a complaint with UEFA following their 2-0 Champions League quarter-final defeat by Atletico Madrid, citing a “grave lack of VAR intervention.” The Catalan club is particularly incensed by a denied penalty after Marc Pubill’s handball and the VAR’s failure to review the incident, which they believe significantly impacted the game’s outcome. This follows a contentious match where Pau Cubarsi’s yellow card was upgraded to a red after a VAR review.
