Furious Anger in Barcelona's Dressing Room
The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" revealed a severe anger that prevailed in Barcelona's dressing room following the loss to Real Sociedad at Anoeta Stadium, due to a disallowed goal by Lamine Yamal for offside, at a time when the match was goalless.
The newspaper mentioned that Barcelona played a great match and imposed its control during many periods, but this was not reflected in the final result, amid disallowed goals, shots hitting the posts, controversial refereeing decisions, and the brilliance of goalkeeper Remiro, which caused the end of an 11-match winning streak.
According to the newspaper, feelings of frustration, anger, and resentment dominated inside the dressing room, where some players and the technical staff expressed their anger openly or through social media, while the anger inside was even greater, even among players not known for showing emotions.
The newspaper pointed out that the most infuriating moment for Barcelona players was the almost automatic offside image of Lamine Yamal, which recalled a previous controversy at the same stadium and with the same referee, Carlos del Cerro Grande, as happened with Robert Lewandowski in November 2024, where the goal was disallowed by a narrow margin despite the player's position not giving him a clear advantage.
The newspaper added that coach Hans Flick demanded explanations from the referee after watching the replay on video technology, while the referees' committee confirms that the offside decision was correct based on ten additional cameras, despite previous club requests for a clearer explanation of how this technology works.
