The Spanish soccer classic is giving a lot to talk about. However, so far, the play that has generated the most controversy in this duel between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona has Lamine Yamal as its protagonist.
The young Blaugrana promise finished in an unorthodox way with his heel after a corner and sent the ball towards the goal. Lunin was poorly positioned and tried to react to get the ball out before it crossed the goal line.
In the television footage it seemed that the ball had crossed the line and, therefore, Yamal's goal was valid. However, said play was reviewed in the VAR to determine whether the score was valid or not.

After several minutes of review, the VAR decided not to validate FC Barcelona's goal as it did not find sufficient evidence that the ball had indeed crossed the line in its entirety.
The VAR took a few minutes in El Clásico to review this play in which the ball seemed to have gone over the entire goal line. 👀
