Iago Aspas’ Free Kick Polemic against Barcelona

DBasia.news – Barcelona are stuck at the headquarters of Celta Vigo in the 32nd week of La Liga 2019/10, Saturday (06/27/2020). Barcelona failed to win after Iago Aspas equalized with a free kick on the 88th minutes.

The free kick was awarded by referee, Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez after he observed that Gerard Pique committed an offense against Rafinha.

Rafinha himself is a loan player from Barcelona

However, the decision has triggered pros and cons. A few believed that it was not a violation, and the referee should not have given Celta a free kick.

The former Spanish referee, Juan Andujar Oliver, considered that the free kick should not have been given. The reason, according to him, there was not enough contact between Pique and Rafinha.

“Pique tried to stop Rafinha, but there was not enough contact to be considered an offense,” Juan Andujar Oliver said, as reported by Marca.

“The Celta player fell, and the referee was wrong if he thought that there was a foul committed by the Barcelona defender.

“We were fated to pretend” Pique wrote.

The sentence is actually part of the lyrics of one of MGMT’s song. However, that sentence is believed to be a satire for Rafinha.
