Ghana striker Inaki Williams expressed frustration over the officiating in Athletic Club's 2-0 Spanish Super Cup semi-final loss to Barcelona.
The defeat, which took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, saw Williams’ 86th-minute goal disallowed after a VAR review.
He felt the decision was unfair and inconsistent with officiating standards throughout the match, likening the experience to playing away from home.
Williams also criticized the inconsistency in the application of the rules, suggesting that they were applied differently to various teams.
Despite the controversy, Barcelona advanced to the final, where they will face the winner of the Real Madrid vs. Real Mallorca semi-final.
