Giovani Lo Celso questions refereeing after disallowed goal in Betis loss

Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso expressed frustration following his team's 5-2 defeat against FC Barcelona, specifically regarding a disallowed goal that would have leveled the score at 2-2.

Lo Celso's spectacular volley was overturned by referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea following a VAR review. The Argentine player questioned the decision, noting that the play involved a contested header and potential contact with the hand of Cucho Hernández. He suggested that if the play had benefited Barcelona, the decision might have been handled differently.

Lo Celso noted that the disallowed goal was a critical turning point, as the match shifted from a potential halftime draw to Betis trailing. While praising Barcelona's form, he emphasized that his team competed competitively despite the controversial officiating and disciplinary decisions during the match.
