#5 Refereeing decisions come into the spotlight yet again in La Liga
Trending
La Liga has been in the news for a lot of controversy in the past few seasons, but more so this season after a lot of pundits have questioned their decision over not having the goal-line system. With Barcelona at the receiving end of a lot of decisions from the referees, there has also been a feeling around Camp Nou that they are being robbed by La Liga’s president Javier Tebas who is a Real Madrid fan.
While those claims could just be purely emotional, Barcelona has in fact been very unlucky with many decisions this season. Against Betis, their first claim was that of a penalty for a foul on Neymar. Replays clearly showed that the player was hacked down right in front of goal. The second was that of an own goal which was cleared off the line. Replays, however, showed that the ball did cross the line. Barcelona did have a few other claims but not as clear cut as the two mentioned above.
With many players speaking up on the issues, and Neymar, in fact, mocking it on his Instagram story, expect a few fines and bans coming Barcelona’s way.
