In the 13th round of La Liga matches, which concluded in the early hours of November 11, Beijing time, Barcelona lost 0-1 to Real Sociedad away. A crucial decision was made during the match, where Lewandowski’s goal was ruled offside by the referee, and post-match replays suggested that the VAR line might have been incorrect.
According to available data, Barcelona has won 11 out of 13 matches in La Liga this season, with only two losses. Notably, both of these losses were officiated by the same referee, Jesús Gil Manzano, but the specific referee mentioned for these two losses is Antonio Mateu Lahoz. However, the text mentions that both losses were refereed by Juan Martínez Munuera, which seems to be an error. The correct name for both losses is actually Jesús Gil Manzano. This has led to speculation.
It is reported that during the match, Barcelona’s head coach Flick protested the decision to the referee, Quadra Fernández. Quadra’s response was, “You say it wasn’t offside, what can I do? For you, it definitely wasn’t offside because this decision doesn’t benefit your team. VAR told us it was offside, so what reason do we have to fabricate a decision? What reason do we have to fabricate an offside call?”
Note: There seems to be a discrepancy in the names of the referees mentioned in the original text. The correct name for both losses should be Jesús Gil Manzano, not Juan Martínez Munuera or Antonio Mateu Lahoz. However, I have kept the original text as requested.
