The controversial plays of Granada-Barça: Griezmann's goal, Busquets' hand …

Griezmann overtook Barcelona at 12 'in Los Cármenes and, at first, there was some controversy as the assistant had raised the flag. The Frenchman had unbalanced the score, but after scoring some uncertainty was generated that the referee resolved very well. De Burgos went to consult with him and was completely right, according to Iturralde González, referee for the SER and AS. “The assistant sees a rebound, but it is not like that. It is a very clear goal, there is no doubt. Because he does not see that it is a bad clearance by Soldier, he thinks it is a rebound and raises the flag, but he sees the play very well From Burgos The referee asks his assistant what he has seen and corrects him saying that it is a bad clearance A bad clearance enables the player to go offside. The assistant raises the flag because he thinks the ball is coming from a rebound, but upon hearing De Burgos he agrees and they resolve the play well. There is no need to go to the VAR “, the ex-referee extends.

Later, there was also controversy in Messi's 0-2 because Busquets touched the ball with his hand earlier. The Granada players claimed the hand of de Busquets after he touched the ball with the joint at the beginning of the play, when the Catalans recovered the ball. The play began with a long ball from the Granada goalkeeper who, after a header by Mingueza and another by Eteki against De Jong, headed Yángel Herrera and the ball went to the hand of Busquets. But Iturralde points out and also observes a legal goal. “The hand in attack is sanctioned only if it is immediately a goal. Last year it would have been a hand and it would have been canceled. Here there is a transition and a pass in between. The goal is legal,” says the former referee.
