Football fans were shocked to discover that LaLiga does not use goal-line technology.
This happened during the El Clasico clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Ahead of the 2023/24 season, El Larguero revealed that La Liga would remained the only top European league to not adopt goal-line technology as president Javier Tebas reportedly refused to pay £2.6 million ($3.2m) – the sum required to implement the technology.
Barcelona saw a goal controversially disallowed in El Clasico due to the absence of goal-line technology in La Liga.
Andreas Christensen handed Barcelona the lead in the sixth minute before Vinicius Jr. brought his team back into the game by netting the equaliser from the penalty spot.
In the 28th minute, Lamine Yamal flicked Raphinha’s corner towards goal and it seemed like it crossed the line before Andrey Lunin scrambled it away. VAR checked the strike from different angles before awarding the Catalan giants a corner.
