Tebas reacts to Barcelona’s ‘ghost goal’ against Real Madrid in El Clasico

La Liga president Javier Tebas has seemingly defended the lack of goal-line technology during Barcelona’s Clasico clash with Real Madrid.

The game at the Santiago Bernabeu saw plenty of controversy, not least when Lamine Yamal thought he had flicked Barca into a 2-1 lead.

Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin managed to scoop the ball away, but it seemed as though the ball may have crossed the goalline.

There was a lengthy VAR check during where it was decided it was not a goal, but of course if La Liga had the right technology the whole thing could have been clarified without any doubts in a matter of seconds.
