VAR referee's controversial statement in El Clasico match

The VAR referee team is said to have made substandard statements.

Dario Sport revealed: "From the VAR room, the referees exclaimed 'thank God' when reviewing Fermin Lopez's goal and realizing there was a handball situation by a Barcelona player. This sound can be clearly heard in the published recordings. Barcelona should ask for an explanation on this matter."

In the fifth minute of injury time at Montjuic, Lopez scored to make it 5-3 for Barcelona. However, referee Alejandro Hernandez consulted VAR and disallowed the goal. He thought Fermin handled the ball in a challenge with Federico Valverde.

However, the phrase "thank God" appearing in the conversation between the referees is considered inappropriate, thereby easily making others think that the referees in black are biased towards Real Madrid or are unprofessional.

Speaking to AS , former referee Iturralde Gonzalez said that Lopez's handball situation was unclear, which led to Barcelona's goal being taken away. Earlier, the home team was also denied a penalty after the ball clearly touched Aurelien Tchouameni's hand in the penalty area.

On the evening of May 11, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-3 in round 35, thereby touching the La Liga championship. After the defeat in round 35 of La Liga, the gap between Real and Barca has increased to 7 points, while the season has only 3 matches left.

"Los Blancos" lost all 4 El Clasico matches this season and conceded 16 goals, including 2 times directly losing titles to their arch-rivals (Spanish Super Cup, King's Cup).
