Barcelona lost by one goal against Inter Milan, for the third UEFA Champions League 2022-2023, leaving aside the result, the most shocking news of the match was the penalty not scored in favor of Barcelona, for a handball by Dumfries, at the end of the match.
The play is especially controversial, because the team coached by Xavi Hernandez had a goal disallowed for a very similar handball committed by Ansu Fati. Barcelona were outraged that a similar handball was flagged in one area, but not in the other area.

Now, from the city of Barcelona, fans and media have a theory that could explain why the referee harmed them in that way. And how could it be otherwise, that theory involves a Real Madrid player, specifically Karim Benzema.
The cule press claims that Van Boekel, the referee of the match, is the same one who did not signal a foul by Benzema on Donarumma in the last edition of the Champions League. So he would have interests in favor of Real Madrid.
What did Xavi say about the referee?
Xavi did not hesitate in criticizing the referee: "I'm pissed off about the situation we've had to live through. It is an injustice. I said yesterday that the referees should talk and explain themselves, because we don't understand anything," said the Catalan coach at a press conference.
