In the Spanish national derby, because La Liga has no goal-line technology this season, it has led to the emergence of a "goal-line suspense case"! Barcelona club president Laporta bitterly criticized Real Madrid's dissatisfaction with the referee and shouted at the Spanish Football Federation in a video! Demanded that the Spanish Football Federation and the referee committee provide images and audio about the incident, and did not rule out the possibility of requesting a rematch. And to put it bluntly, we can't afford to sit idly by while the use of VAR damages the reputation of our league.
Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-2 and basically locked up the league title
Before this Spanish national derby, Real Madrid led the league with 78 points, Barcelona 70 points second in the league, if Barcelona can win, it will narrow the league points gap with Real Madrid, with 6 rounds left in the league, the 5-point gap is chasable for Barcelona, but with Real Madrid winning, Real Madrid has led Barcelona by as many as 11 points, basically locking the league championship! Real Madrid, which has 81 points, only needs 7 points in the next 6 games to lock the league championship.
In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Barcelona was reversed by Paris Saint-Germain and missed the semi-finals, while Real Madrid eliminated the defending champion Manchester City through a penalty shootout! Barcelona's only remaining pursuit this season is the league championship! The painful loss of the Spanish national derby shattered Barcelona's last hope, and after the loss, the president of Barcelona will naturally feel dissatisfied.
The goal-line case is a fact, and the demand league or just nonsense
In the 28th minute of the first half of the Spanish national derby, Yamal took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to shoot with his back to the instep outside the goal, and the ball was held up by Real Madrid goalkeeper Lu Ning with both hands, but whether the goal crossed the goal line as a whole became the focus of attention of the whole game! Due to the refusal of La Liga President Tevas to pay FIFA 3.5 million euros in patent fees, this season's La Liga, without goal-line technology, eventually had to rely on VAR to solve the problem, and the biggest difference between goal-line technology and VAR is naturally the collision of artificial and technology.
CANAL+ SPORT recreated the match in 3D with the help of available camera footage, showing that the ball did not completely cross the goal line, and the Archivo VAR simulation, a website dedicated to the analysis and development of VAR technology in Spanish football, showed that the ball crossed the line completely... It is true that the gap is too subtle to judge.
Laporta, as president of Barcelona, firmly believes that Real Madrid will benefit from the final VAR decision, and has threatened that since we have VAR, we should always use it to avoid mistakes that could lead to unfair penalties, and we do not rule out the need for judicial action. The Barcelona president said that if the goal is 100% confirmed, the Spanish Football Federation should arrange a replay.
For such a demand, it can be said that it is nonsense, even vexatious. As the president of Barcelona, Laporta's remarks deserve to be discussed. Before there was no VAR, there were not a few "unjust, false and wrongful cases" in football, such as controversial red cards, controversial penalties, body hair offsides, etc., countless! Whether it is an ordinary league, or the World Cup, the Champions League, the European Cup knockout round, or even the final, the controversy has always existed, even with VAR, the controversy will always exist.
There are both profit and non-profit in the dispute, and for La Liga, the goal-line technology should have been perfectly solved by technology, and it was not introduced this season, is it considered to be introduced next season? And this goal, who ultimately profits, because there is no goal-line technology, it is difficult to have an accurate conclusion, Laporta, as the president of Barcelona, seems to have overreacted.
