If FC Barcelona loses the Spanish championship by a point, this situation will certainly come back many times in the context of its importance. The point is, of course, whether Robert Lewandowski was offside in the match between FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad (0:1). The Polish striker scored before the hosts' goal, and if his goal had not been canceled by VAR, who knows what the result of the competition would have been.
The head of VAR in Spain said that the right decision was made because Lewandowski was offside. FC Barcelona, ​​in turn, wants explanations on this matter and there are many indications that this situation will be discussed many times.
Fans voted in a poll regarding Robert Lewandowski's goal
The daily “Mundo Deportivo” conducted a survey regarding this goal. “Do you think that the stop for a semi-automatic offside shot belongs to Lewandowski?” – is the newspaper's question, referring to the technology that assessed that the Polish striker was offside by the toe of his shoe.
Results? 88.37 percent the votes were for “NO”, and only 11.63 percent to “YES”. And all this with over 23,000 votes cast.
– It's not clear whose shoe is sticking out. It's quite a questionable offside, said former international referee Cesar Luis Barrenechea Montero, quoted by “Mundo Deportivo”.
At the same time, it is a fact that FC Barcelona showed a very bad performance in San Sebastian and probably played the worst match during Hansi Flick's term. The Catalans couldn't really threaten the Basque goal throughout the match, which resulted in the first match in ten years in which they did not shoot on target! In the 2014/2015 season, the team led by Luis Enrique failed to register a shot on target on September 24, 2014 against Malaga away.
Currently, FC Barcelona is in first place in the La Liga table, six points ahead of second-place Real Madrid. At the same time, the Catalans have played one more match. The next match will be played by Hansi Flick's players on Saturday, November 23, away against Celta Vigo at. 9:00 p.m. The text report from this meeting will be available on Sport.pl and in the Sport.pl LIVE mobile application.
