"Flick stated, "But the situation in which Pubill touches it with his hand and the referee doesn't give anything, for me, is very clear. I don't know why the VAR hasn't come in. He's a German referee and he's incredible. We all make mistakes but with this type of situation... Why do we have VAR? It should be a penalty and a second yellow for the player.""
"Flick questioned the decision regarding Cubarsi's red card, saying, "Maybe it is, maybe it's not... I'm not sure if he touches him enough because the ball was behind them.""
Hansi Flick criticized the use of VAR following Barcelona's 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid. A handball by Marc Pubill went unpunished, raising questions about officiating. Barcelona's Pau Cubarsi received a red card for a foul, leading to a free-kick goal by Julian Alvarez. Alexander Sorloth added a second goal for Atletico. Flick expressed confusion over the lack of VAR intervention, suggesting that Pubill's handball warranted a penalty and a second yellow card.
