The penalty kick tipped the scales in their favour: Barcelona midfielder Busquets

Busquets praises the team for the job they did in the first half and at the start of the second one.

The midfielder believes that the penalty was too strong of a punishment.

"It was an even match. We had high hopes for this game. We got there well. We did well in the first half and we also had good chances in the second half. The penalty kick tipped the scales in their favour," Sergio Busquets told BarcaTV after the Clasico.

"The VAR decision? It's difficult. In games, there are a lot of plays like these (the penalty). The situation with Betis of the other day comes to mind... It was too strong of a punishment in my eyes."

After losing to Real Madrid, Barcelona have now gathered seven points in five games. The Catalans have registered two wins, two losses and a draw.
