Overview
- Ramón Díaz made the comment in a post-match press conference following Internacional’s 2–2 draw with Bahia at Beira-Rio in the 33rd round of the Brasileirão.
- The flashpoint was a Carbonero goal that referee Lucas Paulo Torezin initially validated on the field before disallowing it after a VAR recommendation.
- Díaz said he would speak with the club president and cautioned that the club must be careful with referees after recent decisions he disputes.
- The statement was widely criticized on social media, and as of the latest reports the club had not issued an official response or announced any sanction.
- The episode recalls Díaz’s 2024 controversy at Vasco over a woman operating the VAR, for which he later apologized and said his words were misinterpreted.
