VAR audio of Vedat Muriqi’s clash with Joan Garcia released after Barcelona beat Real Mallorca

Muriqi was initially shown a yellow card but it was upgraded to a red after a VAR review.

The audio of the incident has now been released, and here’s how the chat with the match officials went.

“Jose Luis, I recommend you come and review the action for a potential red card for serious foul play,” the match referee was told.

“Let’s see it,” he replied.

He is shown the images and told by VAR Jorge Figueroa Vázquez: “The point of impact. I’ll show you the live image later and you can assess it.”

Munuera responds by asking for more images: “Further back. Give it to me a little more live, Jorge, please. Show it to me backwards, a little earlier.

“Okay, the player never touches the ball. Give me right offside [camera]. Right offside, that’s it. Okay. Behind the goal. I want to see the intensity, assess the intensity, show it to me live, please. Behind the goal.”

“Okay, stop it right at the point of impact. Right at the point of impact, right there. Perfect.”

Referee José Luis Munuera then makes his decision to show Muriqi the red card and reduce Mallorca to nine men.
