The recent victory of Real Madrid last Sunday at home against their arch-rival, Barcelona, apparently will have a lot to talk about, as the president of the Blaugrana club, Joan Laporta, expressed himself through a video on Monday, April 22, showing a strong stance and confirming that he appeared before the Technical Committee of Referees due to the controversies generated and hinted that he will fight to have the Spanish El Clásico played again.
The goal disallowed by VAR decision of Lamine Yamal is the main cause of debate and controversy, as if it had not been disallowed, the goal would have meant a hypothetical victory or, failing that, a final draw of the match, very important points for the Catalans in their struggle to try to catch up with the Merengues in the final stretch of the championship.

Laporta explained in a video that quickly went viral on social media how the procedure to be followed in the coming hours via legal means would be according to the review of the disallowed goal, promising that if they are right and the decision to disallow the goal is reversed, they will request a replay of the match.
"As you well know, I have never been a supporter of VAR because I believe it takes spontaneity away from football, but what I am in favor of is that since we have it, it should be used to avoid errors that could lead to unfair decisions," began the president of Barcelona, before explaining why they feel disadvantaged and, above all, how they will continue their fight to reverse the situation."
With this result, Real Madrid extended their lead over Barcelona, who are in second place in the standings with 70 points. Therefore, with an eleven-point difference over their classic rival and main competitor, the team from the capital of Spain is getting closer to becoming the champion of La Liga.
