'A scandal!' - Joan Laporta rips refereeing after Barcelona denied penalty at Getafe

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has blasted the refereeing during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Getafe in La Liga.

The visitors had a penalty claim in the second half when Jules Kounde was pulled down by Uche but it was not given.

Match referee González Fuertes opted not to give a spot-kick and VAR Hernández Maeso did not interfere either. The decision angered many fans, particularly as Real Madrid had been given a penalty at Getafe for a similar incident.

Laporta shared his thoughts on Monday as he shared a word with reporters.

"The refereeing in Getafe was a disgrace," he said.
