The presence of Joan Laporta in the referee's dressing room after the Clásico did not come for free for the Barça club... but almost. The anomalous situation was reflected by the referee Sánchez Martínez in the minutes and, therefore, studied and resolved by the Competition Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) this Wednesday.
It should be remembered that the president of Barça wanted to personally ask the arbitration trio the reasons for not having reviewed a possible penalty by Carvajal on Lewandowski in the VAR and instead having done so with the action of Eric Garcia on Rodrygo that ended in the final 3- 1 favorable to Real Madrid. A circumstance that the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, seemed "wrong".
In addition to reflecting the fact in the minutes, Sánchez Martínez also clarifies that Laporta was "respectful and polite", subtracting a bit of importance from what happened, post-matches at the Bernabeu are always hot.
Barça presented allegations to the arbitration report, which according to what Competition has dictated have borne fruit for reducing the imposed fine to a minimum. According to the opinion, the Barça club admits that the facts are true and highlights the polite attitude of its top leader so that "no sanction is imposed or, alternatively, that the minimum applicable sanction is imposed."
The request seems to have been attended by Competition, which accepts the explanations of FC Barcelona as good and accepts its subsidiary request, determining to impose a fine of 150 euros on the Barça club.
