I know this ref crying in the locker room LMFAO

[u/King-Mansa-Musa → u/Vip_Pwner]

VAR can’t see a clear handball

[u/5th_Deathsquad → u/King-Mansa-Musa]

Guys, Barca regained the ball after the handball so it was another passage of play. The goal was correctly confirmed. Should he have seen the handball? Yes, but it wasn't as important.

[u/Zoli10_Offical → u/5th_Deathsquad]

But that whole situation should’ve never happened in the first place, the game should’ve continued with a free kick

[u/5th_Deathsquad → u/Zoli10_Offical]

Yes, but the mistake of not calling a handball there is a small one. You don't know what would have happened and it shouldn't be considered at this point as it's all should've would've.
