Although the match against a resurgent Atletico Madrid was always going to be difficult given how poorly Barca have played since La Liga restarted, there was enough in our performance to suggest a win wasn’t beyond us.
Giving away two soft penalties hardly helped our cause, and uninspiring subs from Quique Setien didn’t help either.
In any event, Barcelona have every right to be aggrieved by the inconsistencies of VAR because just looking at the Atletico game, you had a farcical situation.
Hernandez Hernandez, upon the instructions of video ref, Mateu Lahoz, ensured Diego Costa’s penalty was re-taken because of ter Stegen coming off of his line, but Lahoz did nothing where Atleti’s players encroached for Saul’s second equaliser in the match.
