Barcelona and Real Sociedad match referee Guillermo Cuadra defended his decision to assist the fleeing referee after he cancelled out Lewandowski's goal against Real Sociedad on Sunday evening at the Real Arena stadium.
After the technical replay of the VAR showed that Lewandowski infiltrated very few millimeters from the Real Sociedad defender, but the television replay of the media showed that Lewandowski was behind the defender and was not an infiltrator.
The main referee of the match said to Flick that "it got out of control after the video assistant referee's technique deemed Lewandowski to be in an offside position."
“Of course, if the score had been 1-0 in our favor [if the goal was correct], the game would have been different. But it was different, it was not our day” Flick said after the defeat.
