Barcelona players claim it crossed the goal line. But the referee awarded a corner for Barca instead of giving a goal. After the match, the Barcelona coach called it an ‘injustice’. Barcelona fans did not wait until the end of the match. After the incident, they started criticizing on social media. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages continue to be criticized for not having goal line technology in La Liga!
There will be such criticism. Among Europe’s top leagues, La Liga is the only one without goal-line technology. But why is there no goal line technology in La Liga? Before the start of the 2023–24 season, Spanish media El Larguero revealed the reason for this in a report. It said that La Liga president Javier Tebas was not willing to spend $3.2 million on goal-line technology.
Tebas tried to explain La Liga’s lack of goal-line technology after Barcelona fans started criticizing it. He also explained on social media. The X La Liga chief shared a screenshot of some of the news headlines in a post. The news was about a mistake in goal-line technology. In the caption of that post, he wrote, ‘No comment.’
