Pedri was responsible for speaking at the end of the match between Barcelona And Osasuna, in which the culés suffered their first defeat of the season in the League. The Canarian, captain in the absence of Ter Stegen, criticized the decisions of the match referee, Cuadra Fernández. The referee allowed the action to continue after a ball flight from Torró in which a foul was committed and the play led to the Navarrese’s second goal, as they complained about an alleged penalty on Lamine Yamal.
At the end of the match he was asked about the action preceding Bryan Zaragoza’s superb goal, the alleged foul that the Madrid referee did not call out in favor of Barça. “For me, it’s very clear” said Pédri, who compares the action with the disallowed goal against Barcelona in Vallecas after a foul by Koundé: “At Rayo, they withdrew a goal for an even less important game and, in this one, I don’t understand why it’s not called“.
In addition, the man from Tenerife spoke of a raid committed on Lamine Yamal in the last minute of the match. In the 95th minute, Abel Bretones – who scored a superb goal to secure Pamplona’s victory – lightly grabbed the Spain international, who appeared to drop. However, for Pedri there is no doubt that Cuadra Fernández and the VAR should have indicated the 11 meters, as they had done previously during a tackle from behind by Sergi Domínguez on Budimir.
“There is a penalty against Lamine which is very clear”reveals Pedri at the end of the meeting. The canary made it clear, even though the footage says otherwise, because it seems like an insufficient seizure to be punishable. Yamal misses the ball a little long and that’s when he notices the contact and goes down. “He saw it like that and it’s not an excuse,” concludes the Barcelona player.
