"The Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) confirmed today that the referee's decision in the match between Osasuna and Barcelona was correct, and that VAR was right not to intervene."
"The committee's conclusion is clear: 'The visiting player reaches the ball first and clearly plays it. It is the home player who subsequently makes contact with him.'"
FC Barcelona secured a vital 2-1 victory against CA Osasuna, moving closer to the La Liga title. Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres scored late goals, while Raul Garcia netted for Osasuna. A potential penalty for Osasuna was denied by referee Isidro Diaz de Mera, with VAR also not intervening. The Technical Committee of Referees confirmed the decision was correct, stating that Cancelo played the ball first before any contact with Budimir occurred, thus justifying the non-call.
