Barça fans, players and directors all ended the match against Inter Milan in the Champions League very angry. Xavi was very explicit in a press conference when asking for the decisions to be explained. Joan Laporta was also very harsh with Slavko Vincic and Van Boekel, calling what happened a shame. Well, UEFA has ignored the claims and Slavko Vincic will be the main referee for Rangers-Liverpool and Van Boekel (VAR) will be at Viktoria Plzen-Bayern.
UEFA's response was swift and the facts show that they have completely ignored Blaugrana's complaints. In fact, both the main referee of that game and his man in the VAR repeat on this day. “It was a shame. It was something so obvious, scandalous... That the referee had not seen it yet, but that the VAR did not make him look at it again is not understood. UEFA has to be made to look at these things", said Laporta at the end of the match".
Those statements came just after Laporta confirmed that they had transferred a complaint to the European establishment. The Barça president recalled that the Dutchman already harmed them from the VAR in the match against Bayern. "It is that the person in charge of the room had already been in the game against Bayern and there were already complaints then about an obvious penalty on Dembélé."
The fact is that despite the complaints to UEFA, the two referees whom Barcelona considers responsible for losing in Milan against Inter and making their qualification for the Champions League matches very difficult, will be on the pitch this day without reproach some by the European entity.
