He claimed the shirt pull was one that regularly occurs in a match. Ronald Koeman hit out at the technology’s lack of consistency in VAR’s application. Koeman also said: “I would like someone to explain to me how VAR works in Spain.” “So far this season it has only intervened against Barcelona, never in our favour.”
“It did the same against Getafe and Sevilla, for plays against us.” But his comments could see him banned for four games.
He did attempt to backtrack from them by taking them back on social media but the disciplinary committee still decided to launch action. Barcelona is next in action at home to Real Betis on Saturday in La Liga. They then travel to Atletico Madrid later this month after the two-week international break.
