Outcry Among Barca Fans as Controversial No Call Mars Rayo Vallecano Draw
Barcelona’s clash against Rayo Vallecano ended in a 1-1 draw, but it was marred by controversy as the Catalans were denied what many fans believe was a clear penalty for Espino’s challenge against Raphinha. The incident, overlooked by both the referee and VAR, left Barca supporters outraged, and their sentiments were echoed across social media.
El Chirincirco TV (X) expressed disbelief, stating, “The referees just took a penalty against Raphinha as if it were normal play in the centre of the field. Not a single comment from the broadcasters. A quick replay and we continue. It is a shame!”
Míster Seitán (X) lamented the perceived injustice, saying, “We go on with miserable thefts against us this season… The whole planet saw the penalty against Raphinha. Unbelievable.”
El Modelo (X) questioned the officiating, declaring, “Clearest penalty to Raphinha. Huge robbery. How do they not ban the referee?”
Adrian Sanchez (X) highlighted the severity of the challenge, stating, “Espino literally KICKS the leg of Raphinha… and they continue. It’s incredible.”
