FC Barcelona president Rafa Yuste has reacted strongly after UEFA dismissed the club's formal complaint regarding refereeing in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid. The complaint centered on controversial officiating by referee Istvan Kovacs, particularly a non-awarded penalty involving Marc Pubill. Following UEFA's decision to deem the complaint 'inadmissible', Yuste confirmed that Barcelona is considering legal avenues to challenge this ruling. He stated, 'Our legal team is currently assessing this matter,' indicating a commitment to pursue the issue further. In addition to the refereeing concerns, Yuste addressed the pitch conditions at the Metropolitano Stadium, assuring that UEFA confirmed all standards would be met. He expressed confidence in the team's preparation for the crucial second leg, stating, 'I’m very optimistic... we all believe we can do it.' Yuste also highlighted the commitment of homegrown players, who have been integral to Barcelona's project over the past two years.
