Barcelona's protest addresses a perceived lack of unified criteria affecting both men's and women's teams. The club cites a 'double yardstick' in red card decisions, inconsistent handball calls, accumulation of errors affecting them, questionable technology use, and VAR recall disparities.
The complaint specifically references Frenkie de Jong's red card versus Giuliano Simeone's unpunished challenge, contrasting Tchouameni's unpunished handball with a penalty against Barcelona, disallowed goals for Lewandowski and Yamal, and inconsistent VAR reviews.
