BARCELONA LEGEND ADAMANT 2 MAJOR DECISIONS WERE WRONG IN REAL MADRID DEFEAT

A former member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has moved to defend the Blaugrana, on the back of their meeting with Real Madrid.

Barca, of course, marked their return to action on Sunday night, making the trip to Spain’s capital for the latest edition of El Clásico.

Xavi’s troops headed into proceedings in the knowledge that nothing but a victory would suffice, in efforts to keep the club’s feint title hopes alive.

When all was said and done, however, it was Real Madrid who emerged triumphant, thanking a last-gasp Jude Bellingham strike for an eventual 3-2 result.

The full-time whistle at the Santiago Bernabéu, however, has since been followed by an absolute wave of debate, surrounding some of the key decisions en route to Real’s Clásico win.

Two in particular – a penalty awarded to Lucas Vázquez, and a non-awarded Barcelona goal – have sparked the most widespread chatter, with those of a Blaugrana persuasion having made clear that they feel as though their side were essentially robbed of three points.

And one individual who has since moved to provide his two cents on as much comes in the form of Barca legend Gerard Piqué.

Speaking on the live Twitch stream of Spanish personality Ibai Llanos, former stopper Piqué revealed his take that the team of officials got both the penalty decision and ‘ghost goal’ call wrong:

“I think it’s not a penalty and you know that I always try to be very objective. Lucas Vázquez puts his right foot in such a way to impact Cubarsí. And then with the images, it is very difficult, but I think it is a goal.”
