"My eyes say it's not offside" - Casado on Lewandowski's disallowed goal

Marc Casadó is aking headlines in Spain this international break. The Barcelona youth product, who is having an outstanding performance under the orders of Hansi Flick, was called up by Luis de la Fuente and could make his debut in the matches against Denmark and Switzerland with the Spanish national team.

The Catalan was one of those chosen in this interval of selections to attend to the media from the concentration of 'la Roja' and chatted with 'El Partidazo', where he could not dodge questions about Robert Lewandowski's goal disallowed for offside in the Real Sociedad-Barcelona match. “I wouldn't talk about that. From above it has been said that in theory the machine is fine. Maybe they don't have to say it outwardly, but they do have to look at whether the machine has really done well or not,” he explained of a goal that had an impact on the match at the Reale Arena, as Barcelona lost control of the game after this action.

“We are in November, there is a lot of league ahead of us and I think we have to focus on ourselves, on playing the game we are playing so far, to keep playing the same way in order to keep winning games”, continued Casado, who admitted that in the 0-4 win at the Santiago Bernabeu he experienced his best day as a professional: "On a football pitch, I think it was the happiest day of my life".

“At the end you start to assimilate it a little bit. At the beginning, playing, I only thought about winning the game. I wasn't thinking: 'I'm at the Bernabeu, I've just given a pass to Robert and he's scored it,'” continued a player who spoke of the naturalness with which his relatively sudden stardom is being handled at home: ”We're taking it very normally. He has started to realise it now, but we have always taken it very normal, as if he was playing in the youth academy”.

To conclude, Mac Casado expressed his willingness to help the Spanish national team in any way he can and stressed that Sergio Busquets is one of the players he has watched the most during his growth: "Above all, Busquets is the one I've watched the most because he plays in my position. I am shy off the field, but not on it.
