Barcelona’s win over Girona on Sunday in La Liga was not without controversy as the hosts were denied a penalty in the first half.

Fermin Lopez thought he had won a spot-kick after he was fouled by by Yáser Asprilla on the edge of the box eventually saw the decision given against him, much to his obvious disbelief.

VAR audio of the incident has now been released but will also be questioned as it appears a portion of the chat has been cut from the clip.
