FC Barcelona fans felt robbed in the El Clasico match at the Santiago Bernabeu as in the 28th minute, Lamine Yamal flicks the ball towards the goal, and Andriy Lunin clears the ball off the line. The VAR had to take a look since La Liga does not have goal-line technology, and after a long check, the goal was not given to the Catalan club. Replays and images made it hard for football fans to know whether the ball did cross the line or not. An image online surfaced, which shows that the ball is, in fact, past the line, and Barca fans believe the goal should have been given.
There is even a slow-motion video that shows the moment the ball enters the net and past the line. Lunin is past the line and as the ball arrives, the video stops showing how the ball is past the line.
Many FC Barcelona fans could not believe the decision not to have goal-line technology and assumed that they should be winning the game instead of drawing 1-1 at halftime. With a win against Real Madrid, FC Barcelona could get close to Los Blancos on the league table by five points.
Xavi spoke after the El Clasico match and mentioned that he didn't want to comment on the referee in case he gets suspended or sanctioned. Xavi said, "I don't need to say anything about the referee; everyone has seen it already - if I speak, they may sanction me; the images are there. We were the best team tonight and we deserved to win."
