LaLiga president Javier Tebas tweets articles showing that goal-line technology can make mistakes after Barcelona goal against Real Madrid looked to have been wrongly disallowed

LaLiga came under fire for during Sunday’s El Clasico showdown between Barcelona and Real Madrid for having no goal-line technology and president Javier Tebas has hit back. 

The clash at the Bernabeu was level at 1-1 when Lamine Yamal thought he had given the Catalans the lead with a flick from a corner.

His effort looked to have beat goalkeeper Andriy Lunin before he managed to palm it away from the goal.

However, the referee waved play on and the VAR couldn’t confirm if it had indeed crossed the line.

Leagues such as the Premier League now have the technology to sort such incidents in seconds with officials receiving a signal on their watch telling them whether it is a goal or not.

Yet there is no such technology in the Spanish top flight, with El Larguero reporting that La Liga president Javier Tebas does not want to pay the ‘£2.6 million’ it costs. 

Fans couldn’t believe that Yamal’s strike wasn’t given as a goal but Tebas quickly defended his league’s lack of tech.

The LaLiga president posted a series of articles about moments where goal-line technology has made mistakes.
