[WilkerCSBD]

For Iturralde González, there was Verratti's invasion of the area ahead of time. Anthony Taylor scored two penalties in the first half. The culé bench protested a second yellow to Kurzawa.

"One of the VAR's biggest failures." For Iturralde González, the penalty thrown and missed by Messi had to have been repeated because Verratti invades the semi-circle of the area before time: "The penalty would have to be repeated because the one who enters is Verrati, who enters through the center and overtakes the He shot, giving him the rebound and clearing for a corner. That is to say, it is one of the biggest failures of the VAR. You have to look at the improper entry of Verrati, who is five feet inside and is the one who clears. And they have only noticed in the doorman ". This is explained by the VAR protocol: "Overtaking of an attacker or defender who participates directly in the game if the penalty bounces off a post, the crossbar or the goalkeeper".

In addition, Barcelona complained about three controversial plays at PSG-Barcelona. The first was the penalty awarded to Lenglet for stomping on Icardi. Referee Anthony Taylor went to the VAR and signaled the maximum penalty. For Iturralde González, an analyst at AS and SER, there were no doubts: "Penalty steps on him in a dispute for the ball, he steps on it from behind and a penalty. In the first leg, De Jong was blocked when he was running and it was a penalty. You can't run. behind".

Barcelona also claimed a fall in the first half of Dest in dispute with Keylor Navas but nothing was pointed out and the VAR did not see anything punishable either. "There is a clash with Keylor but there is nothing," said Iturralde González in 'Carrusel Deportivo'. If Kurzawa's penalty was pointed out to Griezmann before the end of the first half: "Silly penalty and penalty. And it is not a second card for the PSG player because it is not reckless but reckless entry," explains Iturralde González. "The regulation says that it is a second yellow card if within the area it is an obvious goal opportunity, but this action is not," clarifies Iturralde about the possible second yellow card to the French, which would have meant his expulsion and that the culé bench claimed.

Another of the controversial plays was the possible second yellow card forgiven to Mingueza. In the first he saw the yellow for grabbing and hitting Mbappé lightly in the face. Then in the 27th minute he touched the second yellow but for Iturralde the warning was not necessary. In the second half, there was a possible hand from Marquinhos within the French area but it was "Messi's hand", said the AS and SER referee analyst.

With the penalty that he was awarded in the second leg with PSG, there are already seven who have taken in this edition, surpassing the record

In the whirlwind over the controversy left by the return match between PSG and Barcelona, there was a record that the Barça team broke. This came with the penalty they committed on Antoine Griezmann, and that, in the end, Leo Messi would fail. As 'Mister Chip' said, Barça is the team with the most penalties in favor in a single edition of the Champions League. Seven have been the maximum penalties they have enjoyed in the eight games they have played after being eliminated in Paris in the round of 16.

The paradox of all this is that they were the ones who held the previous mark, with six, a figure they reached in the 2011-12 season. In addition, they also surpass Chelsea, which currently registers another six in this edition of the maximum continental competition. Therefore, the 'blues', pending to play their second duel against Atlético de Madrid, against whom they defend a 0-1 advantage, have the possibility of reaching that record after the elimination of the Catalans.
