Eric Garcia has voiced strong frustration over repeated VAR disallowed goals following FC Barcelona’s La Liga defeat to CA Osasuna on February 19, 2026.
In post-match comments shared by Fabrizio Romano via his official X account, García suggested officiating bias.
Eric Garcia: “Right now, we feel like the referees can disallow every goal we score”. “If they want to disallow it, they will do it”.
His remarks reflect growing frustration within the club over what sources describe as unprecedented inconsistencies in VAR decisions this season.
The controversy comes after García revealed he was close to joining Como in late 2025 before Hansi Flick intervened with a discussion that convinced him to remain at Barcelona, a decision that led to a long-term contract extension as reported by Softfootball.
Barcelona are reportedly said to be preparing a formal complaint to the Spanish FA, intensifying debate around refereeing standards and fairness in high-stakes fixtures.
Elsewhere, Carlo Ancelotti is set to extend his stay with the Brazil national football team, committing to a new four-year deal through the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
