Pretty great when it was 11v11, after the 2 red cards they suffered, we lowered the tempo greatly and didn’t do much at all in the second half. Did produce some half decent chances in that half but yeah it was a bit disappointing to say the least after the red cards.

Nope he didn't.
And brain-dead people are complaining online. Bruv the coach didn't challenge, why are you crying about it.

Truth
There was no VAR to challenge on either of the red cards, they were straightforward and VAR was not involved in the 2nd goal
The safety protocol for blows to the head typically demands stopping play, even if player is suspected of attempting to gain an advantage. So, Mallorca are right to feel aggrieved by the decision. Seemed clear player was simulating but ref is meant to stop play, not play role of doctor
Torres & Barça did nothing wrong as they continued to play to the whistle, as did most of Mallorca players...but I believe ref should've stopped play personally
I believe that's for lower divisions where there isn't regular VAR.
VAR is checking everything in our games anyway. What are they going to do extra if a team says to check again?
