Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez expressed dissatisfaction with LaLiga officiating after a disallowed Lamine Yamal goal in their 3-2 loss to Real Madrid, highlighting the absence of goal-line technology in the league.
Despite Andreas Christensen and Fermin Lopez twice putting Barca ahead, Real's Vinicius Jr and Lucas Vazquez equalized, setting the stage for Jude Bellingham's decisive goal in the 91st minute.
The controversy arose when VAR disallowed Yamal's goal, sparking frustration from Xavi, who felt his team deserved better given their performance. With Barcelona trailing by 11 points, the title race becomes increasingly challenging with only six games remaining.
The absence of goal-line technology in LaLiga has drawn criticism, with Xavi's comments adding to the debate surrounding officiating standards in the league, as Barcelona prepares to face Valencia in their upcoming fixture.
