3 things that went wrong for Real Madrid against Barcelona

#1 The Hernandez Hernandez effect

The referee Hernandez Hernandez had a night to forget

When every single player who stepped on the field during the El Clasico gave his 100% to take his side to victory, one man was below-par today. With a game of such high magnitude, the REEF gave their experienced man Hernandez Hernandez the nod to take care of the proceedings. But the referee had a game to forget as he got more incorrect decisions than the right ones.

Apart from all the controversial yellow cards and red card he issued to the players, Barcelona's second goal should have been cancelled as their forward Luis Suarez fouled Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane in the build-up to the goal before Lionel Messi beautifully curled it into the near post.

In the dying minutes of the game, Marcelo went down in the opposition box but Hernandez refused to award the visitors a penalty. The replays showed that there was a clear contact from Jordi Alba on Marcelo due to which the full-back went down.
