It’s a hard wake-up call in Barcelona, one more day. A few days after the elimination against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Xavi’s men suffered a new disappointment. The Catalans lost with a score of 3-2 on the Bernabéu pitch, against their historic rival. A defeat which hurts on a moral and symbolic level, obviously, and which on top of that offers La Liga to the Madrilenians, who are now 11 points ahead of the Blaugrana in the standings. Farewell to La Liga for Lamine Yamal’s band.
A meeting which was marked – from Barcelona’s point of view at least – by the refereeing controversy. The Barcelonans are demanding in particular a goal not awarded, with a ball which, according to them, crossed the line on a Raphinha corner, and they also believe that the penalty awarded to the Madrilenians was far too generous. “I can’t find words to explain what happened on the goal line. It’s a shame for world football. This world (that of football) invests a lot of money, but not for what is important. Words fail me. I don’t understand why there is no money to implement the technology that other leagues have.”for example launched Marc-André ter Stegen.
Madrilenians are enjoying themselves
After the match, obviously, the Merengues were rather happy. They even chambered, like Vinícius Júnior. On social networks, the Brazilian, for example, laughed at a publication about Fermín López. “He thought he was Jude Bellingham”we could read on the publication of a Madrid fan, which made the Brazilian star burst out laughing.
” It is not a coincidence “wrote Luka Modrić about this new little comeback, while for his part, Carlo Ancelotti, although always calm and reserved, wanted to respond to the Catalans’ complaints: “the penalty on Lucas is very clear. And I think there was no goal”. In the stands, fans of the club from the Spanish capital also made fun, launching chants asking Xavi to stay next season for example. A new disappointment which will leave its mark on Barcelona and which confirms, if necessary, the overwhelming superiority of the Madrilenians this season.
