“He doesn’t see you” – TV cameras pick up reasoning for non-awarding of Barcelona penalty

Barcelona lost 2-1 at home to Las Palmas on Saturday afternoon, despite feeling they were denied the chance to secure at least a point from the match. Two penalties came and went during the latter stages of proceedings, one of which was an alleged foul by Mika Marmol on Pau Cubarsi.

Movistar cameras picked up the referee's audio of the incident at the Estadi Olimpic (via MD), where referee Adrian Cordero Vega can be heard on the pitch justifying his decision to Barcelona's players, including Cubarsi.

“(There's) nothing, nothing… He's looking at the ball! He doesn't see you, he doesn't see you, he doesn't see you…

Barcelona may feel insulted by the decision not to concede at least one penalty during the match, but in reality it was a deserved defeat for Hansi Flick's side. They need to improve in the coming weeks, starting with Tuesday's trip to Mallorca.
