“VAR always favors it. It is not equitable”

Josep Maria Bartomeu, president of Barcelona, ​​made a direct attack against what, in his opinion, is a continuous favor from VAR to Madrid: “I have seen the Bilbao match. One more victory for Madrid. Our message, which I am going to repeat, tastes bad to me, but the VAR is not giving the height we have. It is not equitable since COVID and is affecting the results and it seems that it is always favored. It is true that there have been many games in which the VAR has favored the same team. We spoke to the FEF in its day. The VAR has to help the referee but in the last few weeks everyone has seen many images in which he has not been fair. “

ANDThe second topic that Bartomeu dealt with was the future of Setién: “I already know that there are rumors that have spread. It is totally false. Who has our support. We will fight to the end this League and then comes the Champions. Today we have seen a dynamic Barça, which has had many options to score a goal. Playing in this way is fine because they had fun and this is the game of a champion team. No, late, it doesn't come. After this post-confinement stage, nothing has been easy. Now you start to see the rhythm and this is the way. Start the Champions now. “

And third topic, that of Messi. Regarding Messi, Bartomeu said: “I am not going to give details but Messi has said that his work and football life at Barça will end. I will not explain the details. We are focused on competition. There are negotiations with many players but Messi has explained that he wants to continue and we will express it for much longer. “
