Barcelona’s club president, Joan Laporta, has made a formal request to the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) amid controversy over a disallowed goal in a recent match. The statement issued by Laporta seeks access to all visual and audio recordings from the incident involving the uncounted goal scored by Jamal.

Laporta expressed his concerns over the decision and emphasized the club's stance on the matter: "We ask the RFEF to provide us with all images and audio recordings during the disallowed goal. If it is determined that the goal was legitimate, we will request a replay of the match."

This appeal underscores Barcelona's commitment to fairness and transparency in the competition. The club awaits a thorough examination of the incident from the governing body to ensure that all aspects of the play are fairly assessed. If the RFEF confirms the goal's validity, it could lead to unprecedented actions, including potentially replaying the match to rectify the mistake.
