Barcelona’s El Clasico win over Real Madrid has put Hansi Flick on the brink of clinching the La Liga title this season.
Four first half goals put La Blaugrana on course for a sensational victory against their arch foes to open up a seven point gap at the top.
Flick’s charges can now seal the league title with one more win but their victory against Real Madrid was not without controversy.
Referee Alejandro José Hernández Hernández made a host of mixed calls, with and without VAR, including a late decision to disallow Fermin Lopez’s goal.
Hernandez ruled against awarding a penalty against Aurelien Tchouameni for a handball penalty shout and he then took away Lopez’s goal.
As per reports from Catalan outlet Cat3, the audio between Hernandez and his VAR team has now been revealed, with Barcelona’s frustration deepened.
“The hand is up, and it’s considered that ‘he adopts an unnatural position’ was the interpretation.
However, neither Hernandez nor any of his seven assistants, addressed the fact Fede Valverde’s later intervention facilitates a new passage of play and Lopez’s goal could perfectly have stood as legitimate.
On the back of their controversial loss away at Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League in midweek – more VAR issues will only frustrate Barcelona and their fans – ahead of the season run-in.
Victory means there will not be as much investigation from Barcelona’s side with the focus now on getting that all important title clinching win.

Today's game just exposed Real Madrid. This is what they have been doing for years. They are the bad/corrupt eggs in football.

The VAR and the Spanish FA are a disgrace it seems all, or almost 95% of Referees and VAR are supporting Real Madrid in the open. They have spoiled this beautiful games with their biasness and double standards. Always the rules are bent when it comes to Real Madrid 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Courtois after the friendly El Clásico loss: "We don't like losing to Barcelona, but in the end, what matters is what happens during the season. As Carvajal said, in the decisive moments, we'll see." ❌ Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona ❌ Real Madrid 2-5 Barcelona ❌ Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona ❌ Real Madrid 3-4 Barcelona

Never allow the referee to determine the game, play, or fight for all to see you deserve the win. Azumah Nelson went to Australia 🇦🇺 to meet, fight,and knock out Jeff Fenech. Even if the wife of Jeff is the referee and children, the judges. Azumah won the match fair and square.

If this refereeing was good 1.No penalty for that mbape cause he was offside 2. The second goal shouldn’t have stood cause there was an infringement on Lamine before the ball was taken 3. A clear penalty was denied on Tchouamani handball 4.Tchouamni was supposed to get a deserved red card for that tackle on a last player heading to score 5. Fermin goal was supposed to stand for the ball was a rebound Robbery club As a Barca fan I know we have to fight against referees, laliga president and players with bad mentality with dangerous tackles We are Barca and will always be Visca Barca Visca Catalonia 🥰🥰🥰💪💪💪

it's now very clear and proven how Madrid had won titles they claimed because of how Laliga has been and still is. What a disgrace and shame to modern football. Laliga is the worst league in the world because of such corrupt, disgraced, foolish and senseless double standard. The entire Spanish Federation, referees and VAR are all criminals and useless because Madrid pays them for what they do. Congratulations FC Barcelona you will always succeed and shine because God is on our side

Exactly my thought, since Valverde gained possession before losing it later to Femin, the goal should have stood... Sometimes I think I can even do better than some of this Refs

go and watch your games when Messi played for you and stop Crying. you Barca have not won the Champions League for 10 years. thats you have bin making everything else against Madrid last 10 years😭😭😭😭
We watched Madrid won 3 consecutive UCL’s. On it, Ramos deliberately injured Salah, no red even yellow or match ban. We watched the offside goals and cards being shared to Juventus when trying to make their comeback, and a host of other fraudulent calls. Madrid is a government club used mainly to oppress others; Barca and the Catalonian independence. It’s deeper than football. Barca has been banned, axed and abolished in the past by King Francisco Franko. And Madrid had been racking up titles and titles just like that. Let me rest my frustration. Barca won, but the fans should be very concerned and worried especially going into the new season. Cuz they will be frustrated again
