Namely, in both cases, unresolved penalties and controversies that go beyond red cards remain in the background, writes the well-known Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, which criticized the main and VAR referees. Barcelona, in the 2023/24 season quarterfinal rematch after a 3:2 victory in Paris, hosted PSG and took the lead with a goal from Raphinha, and it seemed they were safely heading to the semifinals. However, in the 29th minute, Araujo received a red card shown by Kovacs, and that turned the match around, leading to PSG ultimately celebrating a 4:1 victory. The fact that this wasn't given as a penalty is actually crazy pic.twitter.com/s1gEMqAyTT Kovacs was again the main referee, and this time the key role from the VAR room was played by German Christian Dingert, as the Romanian first showed a yellow card to Cubarsi for a foul as the last defender. After Dingert's intervention, he changed the decision to a red card, and later missed sanctioning a handball by Marc Pubill within six yards after the goalkeeper had already played the ball. Recall, Dingert is the referee whom Bayern's honorary president Uli Hoeness described as the worst he has ever seen in his life after a Bundesliga match.
