El Clasico Controversy: Barcelona’s ‘Ghost Goal’ Ignites Debate on La Liga’s Tech Gap

Barcelona was denied a potential goal in their El Clasico match against Real Madrid due to the absence of goal-line technology in La Liga.

The incident involved a corner kick taken by Raphinha that seemed to have been turned in by Lamine Yamal, but the lack of conclusive evidence from VAR, due to no goal-line technology, meant the goal was not awarded.

The match score remained 1-1 after goals from Andreas Christensen and Vinicius Jr. for their respective teams.

La Liga’s decision not to implement goal-line technology has been attributed to the cost, with President Javier Tebas reportedly viewing the €3 million expense as too high.

This has left La Liga as the only major European league without goal-line technology.

The lack of this technology has been a contention, especially in crucial matches like El Clasico where every goal can significantly impact the outcome.
