The coach was furious after Lamine Yamal’s shot, which Barcelona said crossed the line, was not given as a goal since officials could not prove it using VAR. With the score level at 1-1, Yamal cleverly flicked a corner towards goal and Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin pushed the ball to safety, potentially after it had crossed the line. “It’s a disgrace,” said Xavi. “If we want to be the best league in the world we have to advance in this sense, you have to put in the technology.”
