Barcelona star Eric Garcia has slammed the video assistant referee and match officials for the Catalans’ Champions League exit against Inter Milan in the semifinals on Tuesday.
The Spaniard believes that Barcelona were the better team and should be proud of their performance this season.
Garcia, who spoke to the media immediately after the game, slammed Dennis Hingler and Pol van Boekel for not making the right calls during the match at San Siro.
Garcia noted that results have not gone his way in all three matches he had played at San Siro.
The former Manchester City defender said, “Football has been very cruel to us. I don’t know what it is about this stadium. I’ve been here three times, and it’s never gone our way.
“We all know what happened with this referee last time. We have to be proud. No one believed in us; they said it was a transition year, that we were very young, and in the end, look at all this.”
Italian giants Inter Milan saw off the La Liga side with a stunning 7-6 aggregate win after the two legs.
The Serie A giants secured a 4-3 win in the second leg at San Siro after a 3-3 draw in Spain.
Hansi Flick’s Barça side will now focus on winning the La Liga title this season, as they stand 4 points ahead of rivals Real Madrid, who are also out of the Champions League.
Barça have already claimed the Copa del Rey, beating Real Madrid in the final, and will now battle Carlo Ancelotti’s side for the league title.
