Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Twitter goes crazy as Los Blancos are denied a clear penalty

Samuel Umtiti clipped the foot of Cristiano Ronaldo as he went for the ball in the penalty box in the 2^nd minute. However, the referee asked the Real Madrid star to get up and refused to award them a penalty!

Here’s how twitter reacted:

Ronaldo should have had a penalty there! #ElClasico

Should have been a clear penalty for the foul on Ronaldo.

I really don't know how Ronaldo didn't get that penalty at the top of the box there early, but it's been all Madrid so far.

Samuel Umtiti gets away with taking Cristiano Ronaldo down in the penalty box with his first El Clasico tackle. #RMABAR

Umtiti got Ronaldo on the leg but no penalty/card given. But Perez pays the refs right?

Real wasting no time, attacking intensely from the first minute on.Ronaldo should have been awarded a penalty after Umtiti's challenge.
