Barcelona suffered another disappointing draw against Getafe on Saturday, failing to hold onto their lead and unable to break through the Azulon defense.
The match sparked controversy, particularly in the closing stages when Jules Kounde was allegedly manhandled by Chrisantus Uche during a corner, but the referee did not award a penalty, and VAR did not intervene.
Barcelona President Joan Laporta strongly disagreed with the decision, calling it a "scandal" while speaking to the press outside a court where he was testifying in a €4.7 million fraud case.
Laporta has a history of criticizing officiating, previously accusing Real Madrid of benefiting from biased decisions, a sentiment echoed by Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone and contested by Real Madrid's Dani Ceballos.
