Qanah accuses Barcelona players of influencing referees

Real Madrid's official channel has ramped up its attack on Barcelona and Spanish refereeing, following an analysis of footage from the Catalan team's match against Real Betis. It claims that Barcelona players are influencing refereeing decisions, just before the highly anticipated Clasico between the rivals.

Spanish newspaper "Sport" has reported that Real Madrid's channel exploited footage recorded by the camera fixed on the referee of the Barcelona vs. Real Betis match, Ricardo de Burgos, to launch new criticisms against the Catalan team.

Barcelona players urged the referee to review a potential handball in the play that saw Giovani Lo Celso score a goal that was ultimately disallowed. The footage also captured the dialogue between the players and the referee.

Real Madrid TV stated: "Real Madrid will have to face 17 officials in the Clasico: three referees on the pitch, the fourth official, the video assistant referee and his assistant, along with the eleven Barcelona players, who have also become referees."

Qanah FC has intensified its criticism, stating: "It is extremely difficult to face 17 referees. Barcelona players are now deciding which incidents are reviewed by VAR and which are not, as they have become referees themselves. They are managing the matches now, it is outrageous."

As Real Madrid's channel hinted at its concerns regarding officiating in the upcoming clásico, it stated: "In any other league, there would be consequences; Sunday’s match will be very difficult for the reasons everyone knows."

Qanah FC has not only criticized Barcelona but also defended Arda Güler regarding the controversial incident involving Gerard Piqué. They criticized the media coverage of the incident, stating that the focus was on the moment despite the player being repeatedly pulled.

Qanah FC concluded its criticisms by returning to the issue of footage not shown during live broadcasts of matches, stating that it has complained for years about certain camera angles not being displayed, and that it has been accused of spreading conspiracy theories. It added: "One ambiguous shot is enough to change everything."
