Barça defeated at Girona: Hansi Flick fumes over refereeing

FC Barcelona are no longer at the top of LaLiga. The Catalans fell to Girona on Monday, suffering a 2-1 defeat. Hansi Flick was left furious with the refereeing decisions.

Barça slipped up at Girona's ground (2-1) in LaLiga. On the second goal conceded, the Blaugrana were left frustrated by a missed foul from Claudio Echeverri on Jules Koundé. Speaking to the press, head coach Hansi Flick did not hide his frustration.

"I don't want to talk about it, everyone saw what happened on the second goal. You all saw that play. Was it a foul or not? Yes? Thank you very much, there's no need to say more. As I've always said, I refuse to complain or use excuses. Referees have a job to do, sometimes it's not good work. But they're on the same level as us, so maybe not at a high level," the German admitted.

Speaking to AS, the Technical Committee of Referees has already acknowledged the mistake made by referee César Soto Grado and the VAR on this incident.
