Ernesto Valverde has said that the goal Luis Suarez scored against Leganes was ok.
There was a controversy regarding the legitimacy of the goal but it was adjudged in favour of Barcelona as they went onto win against Leganes.
Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has said that officials were right in allowing Luis Suarez’s goal against Leganes, which the Blaugrana went onto win. The goal shot up a controversy that VAR should have been used to see the legitimacy of the goal but the Barca boss stands in favour of the decision made by the match officials to let the goal stand.
Speaking to the media after the match, the Barcelona gaffer said, “I thought it was a goal. What can I say, everyone sees it from their point of view, but if the referee has given it, it will be a goal.”
He added, “With VAR, the controversy is not over. It’s a clear goal. Suarez does not touch the goalkeeper, they have reviewed it. There will always be controversy, mistakes will follow and you have to accept the error. That [errors] will not end with VAR, nor if it was a robot refereeing.”
