The Classic party was not only attractive due to spectacular persecution, but also realized a series of controversial decisions of the referee. The referee Alejandro Jose Hernández and the person in charge of Var Juan Munuera are constantly questioned about justice, especially when most situations have an advantage for Real Madrid.
In the third minute, Real had the right to a penalty after Kylian Mbappe was disgusting for goalkeeper Szczęsny in the penalty area. However, before that, the French striker seemed to be off when he received the line from Federico Valverde. However, Var did not enter, and Mbappe took the opportunity to open the score for visitors.
Only 11 minutes later, Real doubled the gap after Valverde’s situation had a clear fault on Lamine Yamal in the middle of the patio, but both the referee and the VAR continued without intervening. After the dispute, the Real won the ball and organized a quick counterattack for Mbappe to mark the second goal.

Barcelona then matched 2-2, in which Lamine Yamal’s goal in the 32nd minute also controversial when Jong’s Frenkie will play the ball in the ball led to the goal. Although the situation shows clear signs, the referee and the VAR still have no movement.
In minute 37, the referee was criticized again when Aurelien Tchouuméni left behind with Ferran Torres in a dangerous counterattack. By law, this is a situation that prevents the opportunity to score clearly and deserves a red card, but Hernández only removes a yellow card.
At the end of the first half, the Real seemed to have the opportunity to raise the score from the penalty spot when Mbappe fell into the penalty area after hitting Jong. However, after consulting Var, the referee determined that Bellingham was out of play in the anterior ball. Despite the decision to be changed, defender Barca Ronald Araujo was still fined a yellow card for the reaction.
In the second half, 80 minutes, Barça continued to punish the penalty when Ferran Torres shot at the hands of Tchouuméni in the penalty area. The situation was clear that Torres stopped playing to complain, but after reviewing Var, referee Hernández still refused to give Barça 11m.
In extra time 90+5, Barça seemed to have a goal to win the victory when Fermin López shot to finish the Courtois network after an impressive solo phase. However, the referee after consulting Var determined that the ball touched López before scoring, and rejected the goal in the repentance of the entire local team.
The match closed with a 4-3 victory in favor of Barcelona, although they did not react too hard with the referee’s decisions, but they could not hide the discontent. Meanwhile, the public opinion that Real Madrid has benefited significantly from the unconvincing decisions of the arbitration group.
Before the party, the royal side used to press when he publicly expressed concern about the lack of equity of referee Hernández. It is not clear if this affects the mentality of executing the game, but it is clear that decisions in the field have raised doubts about bias for the real team.
Even so, Real Madrid still couldn’t take advantage of. After the double MBAPPE, they let Barça repeatedly scored four goals, including the dazzling performance of Raphinha and Yamal. Mbappe completed a hat-trick in the 70th minute, but not enough to help avoid bitter defeat 3-4. This was the fourth time this season, Real Madrid lost to the great rival, causing the league’s opportunity to finish almost when the distance with Barça expanded to 7 points and only three rounds left.
