Barcelona's head coach argued for the use of VAR after a number of controversial decisions during their 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano in Monday's game in Laliga.
The only goal of the game came in the 28th minute of a penalty from Robert Lewandowski, who after a long VAR review came after an error in the box that the referee initially did not see.
The visitors were frustrated by the non-conscious by the referee of their own penalty and were further irritated when Jorge de Frutos was allowed by Jorge de Frutos by Jorge de Frutos in the 42nd minute.
“I have not reviewed the incidents again, but I will always be at the VAR. We have the VAR and I believe in the VAR, that's all I can say about it,” said Flick Movistar Plus.
“We are very happy for the three points because it was a very difficult game for us to win against a great opponent. Rayo is in a good form and plays very well. It was a tough game for the players and I am proud of them. “
