CTA insist referee made the right non-penalty decision during Barcelona 2-0 Real Madrid

Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid in the recent Clasico was a special one as it handed the Catalans the league title on an occasion that the history books will never forget.

What made the occasion sweeter was how thoroughly the Catalans dominated and tore Real Madrid apart as Los Blancos showed barely any fight after going 2-0 down.

One controversial moment that Los Blancos claim went against them, however, was the instance when Jude Bellingham went down in the box following contact with Eric Garcia – something the on-field referee Hernandez Hernandez immediately signalled was not a foul.

The right call

As relayed by MARCA in a recent report, the CTA reviewed the incident as part of their routine ‘Review Time’ and looked into it in detail to ascertain if the referee’s call was right or biased.

Their eventual conclusion, however, was that Hernandez Hernandez’s call was spot-on and that it was never a penalty for Real Madrid.
