Another El Clasico. Another controversy. Among the top five leagues in Europe, only La Liga has angered Barcelona due to the lack of goal line technology. Because in the match tied at 1-1, Lamine Yamal’s attempt from the corner was blocked by Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin in the 28th minute. But Barcelona continued to claim that the ball went inside the goal line. The field referee did not accept the decision of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology. Commentators also expressed frustration at the absence of goal-line technology at the time. But whatever he is, Real Madrid has had the last laugh. They beat arch rival Barcelona 3-2. Before that, Carlo Ancelotti’s team fell behind 1-0 in the 6th minute of the match at the Bernabeu. Madrid, who wanted to keep Barca under pressure in front of the home crowd by closing the roof of their own field, but conceded a goal at the beginning of the match. But Real Madrid did not delay to equalize. Just 12 minutes after Barca’s goal, Lucas Vasquez was fouled by Pau Kubarasi and Hoao Cancelo in a combined effort in the box. Real Madrid gets a penalty. Brazilian star Vinicius made no mistake in netting the ball from the spot kick. However, Barca midfielder Frenkie de Young left the field with a right leg injury in added time in the first half. In the last minute of the first half, Christiansen was replaced by Fermin Lopez, who scored Barca’s goal in the 69th minute. Lopez took advantage of Lunin’s failure to catch the ball and scored a return shot to give Barca the lead again. Five minutes before this, Robert Lewandowski picked up Torres and brought him back to the field. Torres also later squandered a goal chance after being caught offside. However, Real, who had fallen behind, equalized four minutes later. Vasquez scored a volley in the 73rd minute of the match. On the other hand, Judd Bellingham, who was quite indifferent throughout the match, once again showed how useful he is when needed. At the end of the scheduled 90-minute game, Madrid’s winning goal came through the foot of the English star in an additional 1 minute. And with that, leaving an impression of disappointment in the Barca camp, Real Madrid reached the verge of winning the La Liga title by winning another El Clasico. With this, Real has set a record of being unbeaten in 26 matches in La Liga. And this season, Real won the third consecutive victory against Barca. With this victory, Real remained at the top of the league table with 81 points in 32 matches. Xavi’s disciples are in second place with 70 points after playing equal matches. Girona is third with 68 points. With 6 matches left in hand, Real Madrid led by 11 points with Barca. Real will win the 36th league only if they pick up 8 points from their remaining 6 matches. On the other hand, Barcelona is waiting for the end of the season without a trophy.
