🚨Valentín Gómez at half-time on Lo Celso’s disallowed goal for Real Betis against Barcelona: 🗣️ Valentín Gómez: “Honestly, I’m disgusted. I’m trying to understand what we are watching because some of these decisions are becoming impossible to accept. Lo Celso scores a sensational goal, the stadium erupts, and then suddenly the referee goes searching for a handball from 1 minute and 15 seconds earlier. What exactly is happening here? “What angers me even more is the lack of consistency. Every 50-50 situation, every one-on-one challenge, every decision where there is even the slightest doubt seems to go Barcelona’s way. When we make contact, it’s a foul. When they make contact, we are told to get up and continue playing. How are we supposed to compete under those circumstances? “I have respect for Barcelona and their players, but respect doesn’t mean we should keep our mouths shut when we feel decisions are going against us. We are fighting for this badge, giving everything on that pitch, and we deserve the same protection as every other team in this league. “What message does this send to the players in that dressing room? We work all week, prepare tactically, sacrifice ourselves on the pitch and finally produce a moment of brilliance, only for it to be taken away under circumstances that leave everybody confused. You cannot expect players to accept everything silently when the decisions have such a massive impact on the game. “And I want the referee to explain the standard he is applying. If a similar incident happens at the other end, will we see the same urgency, the same investigation and the same willingness to intervene? That is what supporters want to know. Nobody is asking for Barcelona to be treated unfairly; we are asking for every team to receive the same treatment. “This is football, not a favouritism competition. If the referee is confident in his decisions, let him explain them. Because taking away a goal like that while questionable decisions keep going one way is absolutely frustrating. We came here to play Barcelona, not to fight against the opposition and the officials at the same time.””

‼️🟢 El acta de De Burgos Bengoetxea sobre la expulsión de Facundo Bernal: "Este jugador sujetó a un adversario por el cuello y le propinó dos cabezazos en el rostro de forma consecutiva, no estando el balón en juego". #RealBetis

🗣️ Manuel Pellegrini: "Anuló un gol de forma absurda, una mano donde el JUGADOR del Barcelona lo empuja, después en el tercer gol nos ponen el pie en la altura de la cabeza y la expulsión es provocación y empujón de Lamine." HONOR Y HONOR 👏🏻

Barcelona are pulling off one of the biggest robberies in football history. Sometimes it feels like they have the entire La Liga refereeing system on their payroll.
