Jakarta –
President Barcelona Joan Laporta took part in commenting on the controversial victory Real Madrid oppose Almeria. He called it a disgrace.
El Real won 3-2 after falling behind to Almeria. But a number of decisions in the match sparked debate.
In the first half, Real Madrid trailed 0-2 to Almeria. After that, Los Blancos received a penalty following the Kaiky Fernandes handball controversy. Jude Bellingham’s penalty execution resulted in Madrid’s first goal.
Almeria had thought that he could break into the goal again Real Madrid in the 61st minute. But VAR annulled the goal because it considered there was a violation against Bellingham in the process.
Not long after, Real Madrid equalized to 2-2 through Vinicius Jr.’s goal. Referee Hernandez Maeso decided on a free kick for Almeria due to alleged handball by Vinicius, but the decision was overruled by VAR so the goal for Real Madrid was awarded. In the process, Dani Carvajal’s goal in the 99th minute sealed Real Madrid’s victory.

Speaking at the Mundo Deportivo Grand Gala, Laporta seemed angry with VAR’s decisions which were considered favorable Real Madrid in the fight against Almeria at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“What happened at the Bernabeu was a disgrace,” he told Forbes as reported SportBible.
“In my opinion, the refereeing body must respond to a number of pressures that have been placed on referees throughout this season.”
“If not, they will make us feel uneasy. Because we will think that there are actions that ignore their functions,” said The door.
Barcelona itself won 4-2 at Real Betis headquarters at the weekend, to take its achievement to 44 points from 20 matches so far. Barca, in third place, is seven points adrift of Real Madrid in second place.
“Whatever, I’m happy because yesterday we won. We felt stronger and more unified, but we also felt we deserved more benefits, on the day we should have been able to close the gap (from Madrid). (But) because of the referee’s decision, from the referee VAR, that didn’t happen,” he said The door.
