. Barcelona’s win over Girona on Sunday in La Liga was not without controversy as the hosts were denied a penalty in the first half.Fermin Lopez thought he had won a spot-kick after he was fouled by by Yáser Asprilla on the edge of the box eventually saw the decision given against him, much to his obvious disbelief.

VAR audio of the incident has now been released but will also be questioned as it appears a portion of the chat has been cut from the clip. AUDIO REVISIÓN VAR Jornada 29 | Primera División⚽ @FCBarcelona @GironaFC | 9'#ArbitrajeRFEF | @CTARFEF pic.twitter.

com/KjmE1SNU36— RFEF (@rfef) March 30, 2025The chat between the match officials before Pulido Santana was called to the monitor has not been revealed, only the conversation once the referee was at the screen.“Let’s see, show it to me. I’m in front of the screen.

Okay, it’s the attacker who’s hitting the defender, so I’m going to call an attacking foul,” he says.Santana also appears to make up his mind almost instantly and only wants one shot of the incident before deciding to give the foul to Girona.After a weekend where Real Madrid’s win was once again clouded in controversy, the issue of the VAR audio from Barcelona’s game will only provoke more questions.
