After the Barcelona game, a lot of fans have been fuming regarding the refereeing and the VAR for both the Athletico and Girona games..
Barcelona had a terrible game for sure, but I will still continue to say that the VAR and the referee officials for this game were terrible.

Firstly, there’s absolutely no reason to stop a game for up to 8 mins just to nullify a goal by all means Smiley.

Secondly, Athletico deserved a red card for this particular tackle:

Some of you will defend it, but before then, this particular guy was fouled in the early minutes. Again, it was around his ankle.
I remember you all defended this when I brought it here:

Yet, at the late minute Garcia was given a red card for a tackle that’s not as worse as the above, rules are rules right?..

Against Girona, a foul was also committed on Kounde and this goal was allowed. The same foul, which was even a tip, was disqualified against Rayo Vallecano.


Both games came with a lot of dirty tackles from Barcelona opponents without cards from the ref..don’t believe me, go check the highlights of both games.

Again, Barca had the chance to take on opportunities and as well prevent most of these goals, but they played terribly with a bad defense, they deserved it but what the officials did were bad & terrible..

You don't need to go far as to bring proof or evidence, this tackle on Kounde was a clear foul and I still can't understand the main reason why it wasn't reviewed by the so called VAR, they sometimes make football look stupid even in video games they'll review it so why are these ignoring some of these decisions? Although that's not why Barcelona lost the game, they had the best of chances to get the job done and dusted but they choose to play with fire knowing fully well that Madrid won their game, it is so painful for the fans, if Barcelona had converted their chances we won't have been talking about this incident or foul on the French player Kounde.

Football is not completely fair, it has never been like that with or without VAR because there are attempts behind the scene to manipulate referee decisions and match results as well as a title race while there are chances for pure human mistakes. It's not just a conspiracy theory but it already happened with big clubs in La Liga, Serie A and there were legal investigations about that in the past too.

Things like this will only be known several years later and our discussion about it is non sense, can not change anything in this season or these matches. Like World Cup 2002 in Japan and South Korea was full of drama with suspicious decisions of referees that contributed considerably to eliminate Italy and Spain while support South Korea, one of two host nations, to go to semi finals. Many years later, manipulations were brought to light but what happened in that World Cup 2002 tournament remained and could not be changed.

Most times I find it very irritating to understand how some teams actually feel when they complain about a referee, I still don’t think there is anything wrong with the Officiating of the game, Barcelona lost because they were horrible the way they performed, it was a shame for them to miss so many good chances and opportunities to have beaten the team in that game, but unfortunately for them they lost the game against Girona, Barcelona should move on from that game, and focus on the games ahead, it was a terrible performance from Barcelona and they should stop talking about the referee, because it’s shameful and irritating from them.

Girona really did it… I don’t think many people believed they could. Yesterday felt like a final, not just a normal La Liga game. Personally, I enjoyed watching it. And congrats to Real Madrid too (and the supporters). There’s no need to look for referee misjudgments, as I believe Girona deserved this win more than Barcelona.
Many Barcelona fans are already pointing accusing fingers at the referee for Barcelona's loss to Girona. And they are indirectly saying that the LaLiga body doesn't want Barcelona to win the LaLiga trophy for this season, they want Real Madrid to do that this season. Let's see how the season will go down, whether these assumptions are true or false
If that's true, I think it's truly unsportsmanlike, because basically, bringing down a team unfairly is clearly a crime. So this really shouldn't be allowed, and Barcelona must be able to investigate this whether it's true or not. Because currently they are already at a disadvantage and are indeed threatened with not being able to become champions in La Liga. Because in this match there were also some oddities that I saw, and I thought it was normal, but after thinking deeper, I also suspect that in this match there was indeed something wrong.

But what can be done because the pact is like this and Barcelona must be able to accept it with an open heart. And besides, talking about Real Madrid, I think they will also have difficulty becoming champions in La Liga, for example, if their performance is bad. Because even though they are currently supported by La Liga to become champions, but still if their performance is bad, it is certain that they will not be able to become champions. Because one more thing I believe, that the party that cheats will not be able to get good results.

Referee discussions will always happen whenever a team loses, it's true for everywhere in the world and not something new and we will not see that changing anytime soon at all. I think it's clear that we are going to see this be a normal situation and not going to really matter that much for any of us.

I think the reason why we are not going to see this being the reason why they lost is because they could have won inspite of everything if they just scored a few chances that they got. Like that Yamal chance early in the game when he was one on one with goalkeepr was a great chance and he should have scored that easily but missed. What we are seeing here is that it is not looking that great and should be a problem for Barcelona to care.

It's big surprise from Girona as they are weak in this season but just won against a strong club Barcelona. It's a win for Girona with three points for their club but it's a big gift for Real Madrid in La Liga title competition with Barcelona.

Another twist happens in the title race, with Real Madrid takeover a first position from Barcelona and now they are leading the league with 2 points more than Barcelona. This makes La Liga more exciting but not only a title race, the race for two other positions in top four are very interesting too with participation of Villareal, Atletico Madrid and Real Betis. Villareal with 45 points as same as Atletico Madrid but have one match for playing truly have good advantage in the race. While Real Betis with 41 points don't lose their chance of finishing this season in top four, and they will keep fighting for either a third or fourth position with enough challenge in last 14 matches against both Atletico Madrid and Villareal.

If that's true, I think it's truly unsportsmanlike, because basically, bringing down a team unfairly is clearly a crime. So this really shouldn't be allowed, and Barcelona must be able to investigate this whether it's true or not. Because currently they are already at a disadvantage and are indeed threatened with not being able to become champions in La Liga. Because in this match there were also some oddities that I saw, and I thought it was normal, but after thinking deeper, I also suspect that in this match there was indeed something wrong.
Barcelona in this season don't have good consistency that causes more losses so far, and they already have more defeats than Real Madrid, have more conceded goals than Real Madrid too. They no longer lead the league and even Real Madrid with an experienced coach like Arbeloa will likely have inconsistency, Barcelona must play carefully when the league counts down very last matches. There will be less time and opportunities for Barcelona to correct mistakes and flip rank against Real Madrid. It's normal that when a season has only some matches left, players can play more united with each other and maximize their performances together. Like if after next 5 to 8 matches, if Barcelona can not flip a rank with Real Madrid, they will see risk of losing a title clearer and bigger.

Why is that when Fc Barcelona lose a game their fans, the team and the players will be complaining about referees, I thought Barcelona don’t complain about referees? Barcelona played a beautiful football and they never complained about the officiating in any match, Last season when Real Madrid was complaining about referees and how VAR was hurting and try to report to referee committee Barcelona fans and the team was saying that Real Madrid is crying because they are not good, Atletico Madrid also joined Barcelona and said they should be protecting referees because they are human and human made mistakes.

There is nothing a Barcelona fans will say that will confuse me because they are the club that have a case in the court for paying referees for complete eight years, when Barcelona win matches they will not complain but when they lose they will start complaining that the La Liga referees are doing everything to make Real Madrid win the league, Barcelona team and their fans are so delusional that they don’t know what they want, when Real Madrid lose a game you will never see any of their fans complaining but when Barcelona lose they will not let the media to rest, Barcelona played so poorly against Girona, Girona deserves to win the game, I think the reason why Barcelona are now complaining is because Real Madrid is now leading them with 2 points.

I absolutely agreed the officiating in la liga these days are questionable. However, Barcelona would still win it if they were playing well. Meanwhile, the fact that they played badly. So using bad officiating as an excuse won't change the result.

This is football when anything can happen. The inconsistency of refereeing is not only happening in La liga, but premier league as well. However, it can be overcome with the club to played better and scored more.

This is why i think better to acknowledge Flick's tactical plan is truly washed. The better the sacked him if he's still stubborn to force his team who failed to adapt to keep use his tactic. It may be changing them to be better.

Not just good but their performance was excellent, they played and impressive footage and what I saw with this Barcelona team and coach as people that seems lost. I don't know what's happening but all doesn't seem well with the coach, at some point I saw them playing the high line again and to be frank the score doesn't reflect the play of Girona. Girona should have ended that match with more that 2 goals, Barcelona were really lucky not to have conceded much more than this 2 goal. Real Madrid has the chance now, they initially dropped from 7points lead earlier on and Barcelona right now also has dropped from same 7points lead. It's like both clubs are in the same WhatsApp group. Let's see who will win it finally.



I honestly didn't expect Barcelona to lose to Girona. i have to adjust my expectations and give Barcelona a negative outlook, given that they're visibly and slowly sinking. i can't explain this decline. Does anyone have a plausible explanation?

Girona should have ended that match with more that 2 goals, Barcelona were really lucky not to have conceded much more than this 2 goal. Real Madrid has the chance now, they initially dropped from 7points lead earlier on and Barcelona right now also has dropped from same 7points lead. It's like both clubs are in the same WhatsApp group. Let's see who will win it finally.
I honestly didn't expect Barcelona to lose to Girona. i have to adjust my expectations and give Barcelona a negative outlook, given that they're visibly and slowly sinking. i can't explain this decline. Does anyone have a plausible explanation?

To be honest, Barcelona lost against Girona was too bad. Girona have not been in a good form this season, this made everyone expect a win from Barcelona but unfortunately they disappoint. I just hope Barcelona is not declining in performance because if they do  Real Madrid will get this title this season.

Real Madrid already at the top of the standing, ahead of Barcelona with 2 points, this is a sign that Real Madrid will do everything to dominate the la Liga so they will remain at the top of standings.

After the Barcelona game, a lot of fans have been fuming regarding the refereeing and the VAR for both the Athletico and Girona games..
Barcelona had a terrible game for sure, but I will still continue to say that the VAR and the referee officials for this game were terrible.

Firstly, there’s absolutely no reason to stop a game for up to 8 mins just to nullify a goal by all means Smiley.

Secondly, Athletico deserved a red card for this particular tackle:

Some of you will defend it, but before then, this particular guy was fouled in the early minutes. Again, it was around his ankle.
I remember you all defended this when I brought it here:

Yet, at the late minute Garcia was given a red card for a tackle that’s not as worse as the above, rules are rules right?..

Against Girona, a foul was also committed on Kounde and this goal was allowed. The same foul, which was even a tip, was disqualified against Rayo Vallecano.


Both games came with a lot of dirty tackles from Barcelona opponents without cards from the ref..don’t believe me, go check the highlights of both games.

Again, Barca had the chance to take on opportunities and as well prevent most of these goals, but they played terribly with a bad defense, they deserved it but what the officials did were bad & terrible..

You don't need to go far as to bring proof or evidence, this tackle on Kounde was a clear foul and I still can't understand the main reason why it wasn't reviewed by the so called VAR, they sometimes make football look stupid even in video games they'll review it so why are these ignoring some of these decisions? Although that's not why Barcelona lost the game, they had the best of chances to get the job done and dusted but they choose to play with fire knowing fully well that Madrid won their game, it is so painful for the fans, if Barcelona had converted their chances we won't have been talking about this incident or foul on the French player Kounde.
Most times I find it very irritating to understand how some teams actually feel when they complain about a referee, I still don’t think there is anything wrong with the Officiating of the game, Barcelona lost because they were horrible the way they performed, it was a shame for them to miss so many good chances and opportunities to have beaten the team in that game, but unfortunately for them they lost the game against Girona, Barcelona should move on from that game, and focus on the games ahead, it was a terrible performance from Barcelona and they should stop talking about the referee, because it’s shameful and irritating from them.

There is nothing to be upset about. People make mistakes, no one is above mistakes. If we dwell on what happened, or if Barcelona players dwell on it, then it will never be the right decision for the team. Barcelona's performance in this match was very bad. Barcelona had many chances but they were not able to use them properly. It was very important for Barcelona to win this match, they are currently very close to Real Madrid for points. If they could have won this match, then Barcelona could have had a very good time.

If they could have won this match, then Barcelona could have had a very good time.
Every team has its ups and downs. Real Madrid, for example, started the league very well but then went through a difficult period. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, was in very good form until the last few weeks, but suffered some surprising point losses in the final few weeks. Nobody expected them to lose against Girona, but such a defeat can happen in football. Therefore, it's not right to say anything prematurely, but it's clear that they are still in the title race until the end of the season.

This is just mainly the post-match frustration and they have to find a thing to blame. I have been a fan of Barca for a lot of time and still I am but this isn't the main reason we lost. The main factors that were involved in this loss must be dealt with not just blaming baseless things, it's football and such small things are mostly ignored. Overall Barca had better possession, better passes and overall dominated but they lost due to some factors I.e inability to convert and some flaws in the defense but kudos to Joan Garcia he played brilliantly but the luck wasn't on our side. Football is like this, and it's the beauty of it. No team is Guranteed to Win or Lose and even a worse team can Win against League Favorites.

Barcelona have had problems with their defence for quite some time, they certainly played well, but they didn't play as they should.
The best European team can also appear in the statistics, but when you enter the field, the best team doesn't always win, but the one who exploits the opponent's weaknesses also wins.
Not only physical but also mental performance, football is above all strategy.

Barcelona are fond of always complaining about the referee when they miss out on an important match, especially against not so little teams like Girona. They are just pained that they’ve fallen out at the top race and this will make them less of getting themselves back at the top if they keep up complaining about issues like this. They should have moved on and calculate about their next game which they should try as much to win. The loss against Girona can’t be reversed and it is final.

Girona is actually getting to feel more happier as they’re the cause for them to fall from the top of the table. Barcelona should not complain again because they misused their opportunities which they ought to have utilized earlier. The game was very disappointing and they should not complain at all about how they lost the match. The title race is now just getting tougher because even Real Madrid will not want to misuse the second chance given to them to be at the top of the table now.

Referee discussions will always happen whenever a team loses, it's true for everywhere in the world and not something new and we will not see that changing anytime soon at all. I think it's clear that we are going to see this be a normal situation and not going to really matter that much for any of us.

I think the reason why we are not going to see this being the reason why they lost is because they could have won inspite of everything if they just scored a few chances that they got. Like that Yamal chance early in the game when he was one on one with goalkeepr was a great chance and he should have scored that easily but missed. What we are seeing here is that it is not looking that great and should be a problem for Barcelona to care.

And this is the point. You don't just blame refree for your lose when you failed woefully to convert your chances to goal. I will welcome the idea if Barcelona had score their chances and refree cancelled all the goals scored. The case here is different, Barcelona had so many chances to level the game and even take a lead but what happened? They missed every chances including the penalty missed. On what basis do they really want us to blame the refree for bad officiating? No officiating is absolutely perfect but with the help of VAR, poor officiating is becoming minimal as all the official can not get it all wrong. Barcelona should accept the lose, prepare and come back stronger.

The match was very unexpected for Barcelona and I think the players could not have imagined this defeat before the match started. Girona players played great and they played much better in the match against Barcelona than they have in the past matches. However, even if they lose one match, Barcelona will not be limited here. Barcelona is a very strong team and they will correct the mistakes they made in this match and do better again. Real Madrid has been fighting for the top spot for a long time and they are 2 points ahead of Barcelona. Real Madrid will have the possibility to play better and take advantage of Barcelona's weak position. The reason for Barcelona fall is their overconfidence and I hope they will regain their top position soon.

Referees deserves some punishment by an independent body within Fifa. It's because of them we have had a lot of misguided practices in football. Perhaps 2 years banned from coaching and I'm very sure we all going to live in peace, corruption will slide away. It's because there has not been good delivery why players continues to get away with some of the things they did. Look at what was happening in Real Madrid against Benfica yesterday, Gianluca deserve two match ban.

I also noticed something among top clubs in many leagues. I observed Barcelona has been crying on the timeline ever since they lose to Girona. When they win and Referee do their ways, they appreciate them and say it's good football but when it doesn't goes as they expected, they cry and disturb everyone. Same Barcelona Atletico Madrid finished like they were not wanted in the game were crying and disturbing for Girona that help us opened their yansh.

Barcelona was playing well at the beginning. But later their defense was playing comparatively poorly. Judging by the way they conceded goals, it is clear that Barca could not defend in an organized manner at the moment of pressure. Girona had enough chances to score two more goals at the end. But unfortunately they could not score. If they could have scored those two goals, the winning gap would have increased even more.

Barcelona's weak point is the defence, the opponents already knew that, they simply put pressure on the weak point.
Barcelona perhaps push forward and really play by pushing their opponents under pressure, all this undermines defensive problems that they neglect a lot.
Proof however that even minor teams if they believe in it, can beat even giants.

After the Barcelona game, a lot of fans have been fuming regarding the refereeing and the VAR for both the Athletico and Girona games..
Barcelona had a terrible game for sure, but I will still continue to say that the VAR and the referee officials for this game were terrible.

Firstly, there’s absolutely no reason to stop a game for up to 8 mins just to nullify a goal by all means Smiley.

Secondly, Athletico deserved a red card for this particular tackle:

Some of you will defend it, but before then, this particular guy was fouled in the early minutes. Again, it was around his ankle.
I remember you all defended this when I brought it here:

Yet, at the late minute Garcia was given a red card for a tackle that’s not as worse as the above, rules are rules right?..

The referees that officiated the match of Atletico Madrid wasn't the same on the Barcelona so is possible there decision will be different, on a normal knowledge of what we saw referees do not give second chance for red card are this kind of fouls because it is clear the targets was on the ankle, so there should have been red card also but however putting it with Barcelona's foul the first one is actually small compare to it because it was seriously impacted on the opposition players kneel very bad so actually that particular red card was obviously deserve able without disagreement than Atletico Madrid.
