Xavi Disputes Osasuna’s Foul Claim in Lewandowski’s Goal as Barça Focus on Supercopa Final Triumph
Osasuna players expressed frustration over Robert Lewandowski’s goal, alleging a missed foul on Jose Arnaiz during the buildup. Xavi addressed the controversy post-game, asserting, “To be honest, I saw a foul by Andreas Christensen live. After that, I saw the replay, and it was not a foul. The referee could have sent off a player due to a foul on Raphinha. But no, I don’t think that the referee was the difference today.”
Despite Osasuna’s grievances, VAR officials thoroughly reviewed Lewandowski’s goal, deeming it legitimate. Barça’s dominant second-half performance overshadowed the contentious goal, and the team remains resilient, focusing on their upcoming Supercopa final against Real Madrid.
