"Is it a penalty for you?" Ronald Koeman asked a journalist in the Camp Nou press room.
"No, tell me your opinion.
Is it a penalty? ”Insisted the Barça coach.
He tiptoed through the analysis of the game, but focused his speech on the play that ended with Sergio Ramos' 1-2.
“For me it is not a penalty.
And, when the game ended, I told the referee to explain the issue of VAR in Spain to me, ”the Dutchman continued.
And he pulled out a list of complaints.
“We have five days and the VAR only came against Barça.
He did not do it against Sevilla, when there was a penalty against Messi.
Nor did he intervene in what were two red cards against Getafe.
And that is what I asked the referee: Why is VAR going against Barça?
In any case, Koeman clarified that he is not against video arbitration.
"VAR can be very good, but it will be if it is for all teams," he said.
The Barça coach explained that he did not speak with Lenglet about the controversial action with Sergio Ramos, but, nevertheless, gave his opinion on the play.
“It seems to me that, in principle, it is Ramos' fault.
It is true that Lenglet grabs him by the shirt, but not so much to throw himself back.
It should have fallen forward ”, the Barcelona coach was surprised.
Sergio Busquets lined up with his coach: “Sometimes, the VAR comes in;
sometimes not.
Today's play was too much of a punishment ”.
The pivot was the only one of the captains who spoke after the classic.
