sport news Fans claim Barcelona were 'robbed' against Real Madrid...despite beIN Sports ... trends now
Fans claim Barcelona were 'robbed' after Lamine Yamal's phantom goal was not awarded against Real Madrid on Sunday - but beIN Sports believe they've proven it did not cross the line.
Yamal thought he had put Barca 2-1 ahead when he seemingly flicked the ball in after a corner, but Andriy Lunin palmed the ball away and the referee waved play on.
VAR couldn't confirm if it had crossed the line with only two angles available and LaLiga president Javier Tebas has since sought to defend the division's lack of goal-line technology.
With Real Madrid going on to win 3-2 thanks to a late Jude Bellingham goal, the controversy has become a flashpoint.
Qatar's state-run broadcaster beIN Sports recreated the ghost goal and their images appear to show that a slither of the ball had not crossed the line.
