The Spanish classic between Real Madrid and Barcelona It is one of the most important matches of the world football season. Thousands of fans around the world gathered to watch the confrontation last Sunday.
What happens
The Clásico, which the Blaugranas ended up losing 3-2 thanks to a goal from Bellingham in the first added minute of the second half, lived up to expectations.
In the 6th minute the scoring opened with a goal from Christensen header after a corner kick. Vinicius tied the game from the penalty spot at 18' and the tie remained until Fermín's goal in the 69th minute. The match seemed sealed until, in the 91st minute, Bellingham appeared and with a shot gave the victory to a Real Madrid, which has an almost guaranteed league.
As expected, there was controversy. This time, starring a “phantom goal” from Lamine Yamal and a possible penalty committed against Fermín. The biggest discussion is about the possible goal in the 29th minute. The decision, which ended up invalidating the goal, was strongly rejected by the Catalan environment.
This Monday, one day after the match, the president of FC Barcelona attacked the VAR and the refereeing and requested evidence to argue that Yamal's goal did not go in. “I have never been a great defender of VAR because I think it takes away spontaneity from football” he commented in a video statement broadcast on the club's networks.

In the video, the president highlights the importance of the match for world football and refers to the doubts that the club has about the decisions made within the match. He focused on the “ghost goal” play and mentioned that they consider the decision to be a “mistake” that “led to a change in the final result of the match.”
For this, the Catalan businessman asked the Technical Committee of Referees and to the Spanish Football Federation the image and audio recordings of the moment of the goal. “If it is confirmed that it was a legal goal, we will ask for a replay of the match” He assured and showed his disagreement with other plays within the game.
The Spanish Football Federation, after the statement from the culé director, published the audios of the classic in which an assistant is heard mentioning: “We have no evidence that the ball went in”
