In a game where Lamine Yamal was far from his best, Joan García emerged as the man of the match for FC Barcelona despite a 2-1 defeat at Montilivi against Girona in LaLiga—a result that also saw them win the league against Real Madrid.

This game was more than important, especially after the heavy defeat against Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid already took first place in the La Liga title race.

Joan García discusses the VAR controversy

The Barca goalkeeper did not back down and expressed surprise that VAR did not call referee Cesar Soto Grado to review a possible foul on Jules Kaunde as Girona prepared for a decisive 2-1 goal.

"I didn't see it clearly - it was a very quick action - but after seeing the replays, for me it was unfair. Jules got the ball first and stepped on it. The referee could have made a mistake on the pitch because he was very fast, but what surprised me the most is that VAR didn't call it. These things happen. We can't hold them back.

Amid the growing VAR controversy in La Liga, Garcia also sent a clear message to his team-mates, warning that Barcelona's defense "gives up too much and too easily", while admitting that his defenses are "not doing very well" if the team fails to secure points in the La Liga title race.

With March a crucial month, Barcelona risk seeing their Champions League and Copa del Rey hopes fall further behind Real Madrid or relegated from Europe, adding to the pressure on Xavi's side amid mounting VAR disputes and defensive woes.
