Former referee talks about Bruges goal being disallowed: There was indeed a foul against Szczesny

On November 7, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona drew with Bruges 3-3 away from home. In this game, the Red and Blue Army almost lost. In fact, in stoppage time, Szczesny's possession of the ball in the backcourt was intercepted. Furmant stole the ball and hit an empty goal. After VAR intervention, the referee Anthony Taylor believed that Furmant's foul goal when grabbing the ball was invalid.

In a program, former Spanish referee Iturralde Gonzalez expressed his opinion. He said: "(Fumante) did commit a foul because he did not touch the ball, but touched (Szczesny's) left leg. This contact caused the latter to be unable to support again. If it were me, I would award a foul. Nonetheless, the error itself has not changed."
