Barcelona rubs its eyes with the three penalties against Madrid

Barcelona rubs its eyes this Monday in its press with the three penalties (four, if you count the repetition of the first) that Gil Manzano pointed out in Mestalla and that meant the resounding defeat of Madrid against Valencia. Sports newspapers take him to his front page, with more importance if possible than Ansu's serious injury. “Bathroom to Madrid”, carries Mundo Deportivo on its cover. Within its pages, it titled: “Varapalo”. Sport saw Madrid “crushed to penalties” and “without the mercy of the VAR”. “Batacazo”, leads to its cover.

The most original headline, however, is on La Vanguardia's sports pages. “The defeat never seen”, headlines the chronicle signed by Carlos Novo. For the first time in LaLiga history, Madrid had been punished with three penalties. Ara speaks of historical defeat. A different Monday, without a doubt, on the covers of Barcelona.
