After a nail-biting clash on Sunday, Barcelona’s hopes were dashed as Real Madrid clinched a 3-2 victory in the iconic El Clasico showdown, inching closer to securing their 36th LaLiga title.
FC Barcelona’s manager, Xavi, expressed his frustration over the absence of goal-line technology in the league, particularly highlighted when Lamine Yamal’s goal was controversially disallowed by the referee, leaving Barcelona’s camp in uproar.
Xavi emphasized the need for technological advancements in LaLiga, stating, “If we want to be the best League in the world, we must advance and implement technology.”
The contentious decision further fueled Barcelona’s disappointment, with goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen echoing Xavi’s sentiments on the matter.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, celebrated a thrilling victory as Jude Bellingham’s late goal sealed their comeback triumph, extending their lead in the LaLiga standings.
The win capped off a stellar week for Real Madrid, following their progression to the Champions League semi-finals after a tense showdown with Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Barcelona found themselves reeling from recent setbacks, including their Champions League exit at the hands of Paris St Germain, compounding their El Clasico defeat.
