Barcelona defender Eric Garcia has voiced concerns over recent referee decisions, stating that officials appear able to disallow any goal the team scores. The comments come after Barcelona suffered back-to-back defeats against Atletico Madrid and Girona, with controversial referee calls affecting both matches.
"There are situations that we cannot control. Right now, we feel like the referees can disallow every goal we score. If they want to disallow it, they will do it," Garcia said during an interview. The defender referenced Girona's controversially allowed winning goal and Barcelona's own disallowed goal after an eight-minute VAR check, expressing frustration that fine margins are going against the Catalans.
