Jota Jordi was extremely angry after the match between FC Barcelona and Las Palmas. The truth is that it is no wonder: the referee played a key role and this is what the contributor to El Chiringuito denounced in his 'X' profile. Having lost another LaLiga match, the Catalan has defined the refereeing in Montjuïc as "a disgrace".
"The refereeing is a disgrace," began Jota Jordi. Far from stopping there, after Barça's defeat against Las Palmas, he added: " We always have to be much better to win... If not, it's impossible ."
The truth is that Jota Jordi has plenty of reasons to complain . Barça asked for two penalties in the last minutes of the match against Las Palmas , actions in which the VAR didn't intervene. The first was in stoppage time, when Pau Víctor was going to finish off a cross and was clearly grabbed by the jersey by McKenna, preventing him from reaching it.
Later, in another action in stoppage time, Cubarsí was stamped on inside the area, which left his ankle bleeding. Cordero Vega didn't call a penalty nor did he go to the VAR, allowing Las Palmas to continue, who were wasting time.
Jota Jordi Has Reasons to be Angry: Barça's Defeat against Las Palmas
Before the break, Barça had the chance to take the lead with a great shot from Raphinha, but it didn't go in. After this, in the 49th minute, Sandro put UD Las Palmas ahead at Montjuïc to the anger of the Barça fans. Hansi Flick made a change of pace and, minutes later, Raphinha equalised again.
However, Barça's joy was short-lived: if Raphinha scored the equaliser in the 61st minute, Las Palmas took the lead again in the 67th minute . They did so through a move that Fabio Silva converted, leaving Iñaki Peña standing in his goal.
Overall, the reality is that, as Jota Jordi says, Barça was superior to Las Palmas, but it was not enough to win. In the middle was Cordero Vega , a referee who tipped the balance in favor of a team that didn't deserve to win. LaLiga is getting very complicated for Hansi Flick's team...
