The Technical Committee of Referees in Spain are now considering whether to take legal action against Barcelona president Joan Laporta following his comments about VAR calls in the aftermath of the game between Real Madrid and Almeria last Sunday.
Laporta boldly stated that the VAR in Spain has been kidnapped by the pressure being piled on it by Real Madrid. Thus the Barca president insists VAR is no longer a competent technology in Spanish football.
According to Marca, the committee have contacted their lawyers for advice on how best to handle Laporta's comments. If they are considered derogatory enough Laporta could be dragged to court or a disciplinary committee on charges of misconduct and defamation.
Real Madrid are yet to respond to Laporta's latest comments but they did aim a strong jib at Xavi after he spoke in the same voice as the Barca big boss when discussing VAR earlier this week.
