The goalkeeper of the culé team assumed in front of the press that the goal refused by Lewandowski In San Sebastian, it was an error in the system that moved the lines.
“There is a possible error in the marking of Robert Lewandowski. Well, if there is such a clear and serious error, let’s hope the League takes action because in the end that’s what VAR is for and that’s what the lines they draw are for. If it is a proven error, let them investigate and take action,” he said. Iñaki Peña in the mixed zone of the stadium Royal Society.
A disallowed goal Lewandowski twelve minutes of play due to a careful offside. Live it looked like it was in play for very little, but the referee called it off. Then the image determined that the Polish attacker was very narrowly ahead. Almost by the tip of the toe.
This same situation was experienced by Spanish a week ago against him Barcelona in Montjuic in the Catalan derby. The parakeets team saw how the VAR canceled two goals due to very fair offsides, identical to the one that was whistled this Sunday at San Sebastian. One to Omar El Hilali for the tip of the foot and another to Jofre for part of the head. The blue and white team resigned and accepted the situation.
But he Barcelonait seems that he did not accept that the offside lines could decree a millimeter offside from which until now only his rivals suffered. Iñaki Peña He accepted the error as fact, even saying the League needed to act. AND Hansi Filmwho rarely gets involved in such matters, said the referee made a bad decision.
Lewandowski’s goal disallowed
Lewandowski’s “offside” checked by semi-automatic systemit was very difficult to see it because of its millimetric nature at the tip of the boot. The Barcelona striker also had knee extended forward. This happened in the 12th minute of the match, from that moment the Blaugrana team collapsed and did not have a shot on goal for 94 minutes.
Frenkie de Jong He made a low pass from the front that bounced between the Pole and Nayef Aguerd, but the ball rose, fell, hit Igor Zubeldia’s back and returned to the striker, who finished from close range on Álex Remiro’s goal.
However, at the moment of Frenkie’s pass, the VAR understands that the Polish scorer was very slightly ahead in place of Igor Zubeldia, the 0-1 goal was therefore not recorded on the scoreboard. Of course, the study image tracing the lines was very accurate.
The disallowed goal gave wings to a Royal Society that collapsed in the match. He began to bypass Iñaki Peña’s goal and, in fact, after half an hour of the match he took the lead with a goal from Becker. The striker found good space behind the rival defense and, in front of the Barça goalkeeper, he managed to finish the long post, making the score 1-0 for the home team.
