Barcelona's defeat to Atletico Madrid has ignited significant debate due to a controversial VAR decision that disallowed a goal after a lengthy review process.

In a recent La Liga match, Atletico Madrid achieved a resounding 4-0 victory over FC Barcelona, but the match was marred by controversy surrounding a disallowed goal for Barcelona defender Pau Kobarci. After a VAR review, which lasted an unusually long eight minutes, the goal was overturned due to an offside call against Robert Lewandowski. This lengthy decision led to frustration and confusion among players and fans alike, amplifying discussions on social media about the fairness of the officiating and the rules governing VAR usage.
