Club officials reportedly believe a pattern of “soft” calls against them and favorable ones for Real Madrid could cost them the La Liga trophy.
A sense of frustration is brewing at Barcelona, with club officials reportedly concerned that inconsistent refereeing decisions, rather than their performances on the pitch, could ultimately derail their La Liga title challenge.
According to reports from El Chiringuito, a belief is growing within the club that they “cannot win the league” if the current pattern persists.
This concern was ignited by a series of contentious calls, including in their recent win over Girona, where a clear penalty was denied and manager Hansi Flick was controversially sent off.
The club’s anxiety is compounded by watching their arch-rivals benefit from what they perceive as “soft” decisions. Barcelona officials reportedly pointed to Real Madrid’s narrow win over Getafe, where two Getafe players were sent off, as a prime example of calls that unfairly favored Los Blancos.
These incidents have converged to create a perfect storm of discontent. The sending off of Flick, in particular, is seen as a major blow, as it forces the German manager to watch from the stands during the upcoming crucial Clásico against Real Madrid.
With key decisions seemingly falling against them and in favor of their greatest rival, Barcelona are facing the new season with a familiar foe: a growing conviction that the odds are stacked against them in the race for the title.
