Ernesto Valverde Not Worried About Real Madrid VAR Controversy Ahead of Clasico

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde said he is not concerned about any VAR controversies going against his side when they play Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.

Los Blancos were awarded two penalties thanks to VAR reviews in their 2-1 win over Levante on Sunday, with the second controversially given despite there being minimal contact in an incident between Cheick Doukoure and Casemiro.

Per AS, Valverde said:

"We're quite calm about all of that. We know controversy is always going to be part of football and other sports.
