Barcelona File Official Refereeing Complaint

FC Barcelona has escalated its frustration with Spanish refereeing by sending a formal complaint to the RFEF, citing five specific grievances affecting both teams.

In the letter addressed to the presidency and Technical Committee of Referees, Barça expressed deep concern over perceived lack of unified criteria. The club cited a 'double yardstick' in decisions, inconsistent handball calls, accumulation of errors affecting them, questionable use of technology, and disparity in VAR recalls. Barcelona clarified they don't question referees' professionalism but demand urgent review of applied criteria to ensure equal treatment.
