In the controversial super classic game last night between Real Madrid and Barcelona, referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández became the focus of intense criticisms of the media and fans. The reason is that he rejected two clear sanctions and did not recognize two goals in Barcelona, which makes the game completely change the game and raise the wave of indignation.
Specifically, in the first half, Barcelona had a dangerous attack situation when Lewandowski was shown in the penalty area, the ball touched the hands of the Real Madrid defender. However, after consulting Var, referee Alejandro decided not to exploit the punishment, on the grounds that “the hands in a natural position.” According to him, the true defender did not act intentionally with his hand and his hand at that time he was in a position to support the body’s pillar, something that the current FIFA law allowed. This decision immediately controversial when the slow angles showed that the hand of the real player has expanded the body area and clearly clogged.
The second situation took place in the second half, when Lamine Yamal had a closed phase near the city, the ball passed the lime line before being remote by the true goalkeeper. However, there is no goal line technology used in the game, and the referee does not recognize the goal. Later, Barcelona continued to have another controversial ball when Raphinha was wrong in the penalty area, but again, Alejandro Hernández refused to let Barça enjoy the penalty with the same argument: “There are not enough factors to determine clear errors.”
Immediately after the party, the online community and the experts simultaneously criticized Alejandro’s referee’s decisions. In social networks, many fans said that Barcelona was deprived of a shameless victory. Some former FIFA referees such as Iurralde González also think that at least one of the two situations should have flown a penalty for Barcelona.
The incident was so tenseFIFA immediately summoned Alejandro Hernández Hernández to investigateWith respect to the operation of the party. According to the initial information of the nearby source of the FIFA, the organization will reconsider the entire coincidence tape, will analyze controversial situations and ask the referee to send a detailed explanation report.
Although the results of the party cannot be changed, this incident is reheating the debate on the quality of arbitration in the league, as well as the need for the implementation of the target line technology in each important game. With a serious influence, UEFA is likely to be involved to clarify the responsibilities of the referee in a party observed throughout the world.
