Barcelona burns: “Let them give you the League!”

Nolito knocked down Militao, Murillo touched Rodrygo and he fell into the area and Kevin, finally, made a mistake by putting his foot in a Mendy cut touching the Frenchman and he also went to the ground inside the danger zone. TThree actions and the same sanction by González Fuertes: penalty. The result was not the same, since Benzema was right on two of three occasions, escaping the hat trick from eleven meters.

All added to the offside in Galhardo’s goal by Iago Aspas that caused the tie in the 40th to be annulled. The Galician was ahead when he finished off and also clearly intervened in the play trying to block Alaba’s path so that he prevented the ball from crossing the line.

These four actions drag on the controversy even before the end of the match in Balaídos that ended with a victory for Real Madrid against Celta by 1-2. This raises the whites more as the leader of LaLiga in the absence of what Barça and Sevilla get in their confrontation of pursuers this Sunday (9:00 p.m.). Thus, the unusual thing of having three penalties in favor in a match in addition to the ‘grays’ in the interpretations of the plays makes Barcelona stand up pointing to arbitration in the run-up to a key match in its pursuit of the title.

Sport is the one that generates the most stir with the arbitration controversy. “Give them La Liga!” title in the full width of its first page with a photo of Nolito complaining to González Fuertes about one of the actions waiting at the edge of the area before the immediate execution of one of the penalties.

The whites did not deserve to win in Vigo, but the referee’s help brings them a lot closer to the title”, they say pointing to the referee and without mentioning any other protagonist of the match. “Real Madrid survives thanks to the referee’s gifts”, headline the chronicle in their web in addition to branding “Scandal at Balaídos!” the match between Ancelotti’s men and Coudet’s men in the piece that reviews the controversial actions.

With a photo of Adama and Aubameyang, Mundo Deportivo opens, capitalizing on the attention in the ‘Summit duel’ that takes place today at the Camp Nou for second place and to keep the comeback options alive. Now, his second most outstanding news is a ‘Scandalous’ result of Celta-Real Madrid accompanied by an image in which several sky-blue players claim one of the actions from the referee. “Madrid suffered to win despite the fact that three penalties were called in their favor and a goal against Celta was disallowed,” they add in their first. “The controversy accompanies the triumph of Real Madrid against Celta”, is the title of its chronicle in the digital version.
