Henry against the current: It wasn't a red card for Cubarsi!

Former legendary striker Thierry Henry has reacted strongly to the decision to send Pau Cubarsí off, an episode that significantly influenced Barcelona's 2-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
In his analysis, Henry questioned the fairness of the decision, emphasizing that the case did not fully meet the conditions for a direct exception.
"No, for me it's not a red card," he said, explaining that although the rule for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity by the last player is clear, each situation must be evaluated in its specific context.
According to him, at the moment of the tackle, the Atletico player did not have full control over the ball, the angle of the shot was not ideal and the distance from the goal remained considerable.
"Are we sure he would score? I'm not convinced," Henry stressed.
The former French star's analysis highlights the importance of interpreting details in such decisions, suggesting that referees should consider not only the position on the pitch, but also the real probability of the goal being scored.
