Regal Barça to appeal

www.fcbarcelona.cat

In addition to the original protests included in the official report made following the Partizan-Regal Barca game asking for a review of the last play of the game, FC Barcelona’s legal department have decided to appeal the decision.

After analysing the final play of the game between Partizan and Regal Barça, in which the referees decided that Pete Mikeal’s last gasp basket was not valid, the club has appealed the decision given that it is impossible to determine the trajectory of the ball as it was illegally intercepted by the Partizan player Lawrence Roberts after the regulation time had been completed.

Regal Barça signed the official report on the game under protest, as they did not agree with the final result ( 67-66 ).

With this decision, FC Barcelona have asked the relevant disciplinary committee to decide if the decision went against article 31.2 and if so, to take appropriate action.
