BARCELONA, April 10 -- Barcelona filed a complaint on Thursday with Uefa over the decision not to review a handball incident in their 2-0 Champions League quarter-final, first leg defeat by Atletico Madrid.

"The club considers that the refereeing did not adhere to the current law, directly influencing how the game progressed and the result," the club said in a statement.

The incident occurred after 54 minutes in Wednesday's game in Barcelona with Atletico leading 1-0.

Atletico defender Marc Pubill touched a ball passed to him by goalkeeper Juan Musso with his hand, to set it still in order to take the goal-kick himself.

Romanian referee Istvan Kovacs did not award a penalty, sparking outrage among the Barcelona players and staff.
