Mateu Alemany was extremely unhappy with the referee and VAR in Barça's match against Manchester United
There was the penalty controversy after the referee didn't point to the spot when the ball clearly struck Fred's hands
One of the people at the club who was most angry at the end of the Manchester United game was Mateu Alemany. The Barça director of football was very upset with the referee and the VAR for not giving what seemed a clear penalty when the ball stuck Fred's hands inside the box.
And not only that, but he also recalled the penalty not given for a clear handball by Denzel Dumfries in the match against Inter Milan that knocked them out of the Champions League.
With two very similar calls going against his team in the crucial stages of European tournaments, Alemany was understandably rift but very discreet about it, as always.
