THUNDERCLAP! The fatal offside reported in Barça-PSG added time, where the Parisian striker found himself trapped by the Blaugrana defensive line, could cost several referees their careers: FIFA is preparing an exemplary sanction, but some indications suggest that a larger plan is brewing behind the scenes

Barcelona fans were disappointed after Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-1 victory thanks to Gonçalo Ramos’ resounding goal in added time. However, an interesting development emerged thanks to X ArchivoVAR, which analyzed the goal’s slow motion and claimed that the VAR revision was flawed.

Controversy over the goal

According to ArchivoVAR, Ramos was offside when the ball left Achraf Hakimi’s foot. Footage showed that VAR only detected the ball after it passed Hakimi, meaning the goal should have been flagged offside at the time of the pass. This raises questions about the accuracy of the VAR system and the relevance of the purpose.

Match review

Despite Barcelona’s fast lead thanks to Ferran Torres, PSG dominated the second half and ultimately sealed the victory thanks to a goal from Ramos late in the match. The reigning European champions had to play hard with the absence of key players, like Ousmane Dembélé, but still managed to win away against Barcelona in the Champions League.

Debate on arbitration

The revelation of the ArchivoVAR affair reignites the debate on refereeing during crucial European matches. Many FC Barcelona fans and analysts are wondering whether this last-minute decision should have been reversed, and the incident has sparked wider debate over the use of VAR in football. Although this goal is historic, the controversy surrounding it risks continuing to fuel debates among supporters and experts.

Impact on the match

This incident highlights the importance of correct refereeing during high-pressure matches. The use of VAR aims to reduce errors and ensure fairness, but in this case it appears that the system has failed. As the world of football continues to grapple with the challenges of VAR, incidents like this are likely to remain controversial.
