An unexpected MVP in a classic between futuristic screens and a ghost goal

The Santiago Bernabéu debuted, on the night that ended up being the classic (Real Madrid 3 – Barça 2) that LaLiga sentenced, your 360 degree markera spectacular ring of screens looking towards the grass, roofed from the start of the match once again, with other ten monitors on the back, showing the match to the fans who packed the stands for the classic. There was curiosity about the technological debut and it really responded to any expectations created. Except for one.

Already five minutes into the game, those present in the white coliseum realized that the experience was not going to be complete. Many looked up to see the replay of the gosh Christensen, from Lunin’s song. But no replay was broadcast on those monitors, not until a good handful of minutes had passed after each action. So, when the half hour approached and the VAR spent two minutes reviewing Lamine Yamal’s phantom goal, the fans resorted to the usual ‘fact check’: turning towards the stands and shouting, “But did it go in or not?”

The concession of that goal would undoubtedly have stirred chants of “Barcelona corruption” and “corruption in the Federation” that were sprinkled throughout the musical thread of the match, broken at the beginning by the minute of silence in tribute to Luis Gil, director of competitions and the LaLiga player’s office, whose death, at the age of 48, It was known minutes before the classic started.

Madrid suffers in the corners

But no, Lamine’s backheel had not gone in, or at least Sánchez Martínez did not find any TV image to prove that it had. But what had occurred by then was Madrid’s panic towards corner kicks from his rival. In Manchester, four days,

. But in this classic, Barça not only scored in the first one they had, but each one of them was white torture.

Perhaps it was, at least in part, due to the lack of pure defenders in Ancelotti’s lineup, since only Rüdiger met that definition among those who appeared at the start in the white shirt. Madrid missed Mendy, especially the defensive partbecause Lamine played too often with Camavinga, spirited, of course, when he had yards ahead and the ball in his boots.

FermÍn challenges the Bernabéu

It was evident again, already in the second half, in Barça’s second goal. It was marked by Fermín, yes, who had jumped onto the field for Christensen at half-time, who climbed the advertising barrier to challenge the local public with open arms after his moment of glory. The youth player marked it, yes, but everything was born in a lack of attention from Camavinga towards Laminethe player who placed the center that Lunin repelled and Fermín, yes, connected due to the passivity of Tchouaméni and Rüdiger.

At that moment the Barça teenager was opposing being the MVP of the last classic of the season, without a doubt the sharpest of the team that, at that moment, was winning. But it turned out that, at the other end of the field, tracing the perfect diagonal, the most unexpected of the candidates raised his finger and claimed the award for himself.

It was Lucas Vázquez, who had caused the penalty in the first half, ‘maradondo’ on the baseline. Cancelo, with a quarter of an hour left, he once again laid out the red carpet for his elevation. He neglected the past center of Vinicius clike someone who sees a bus passing by from the stop that is not theirs and the white youth player did not waste the opportunity to score the tie that leaves the League virtually doomed.

But there was still the icing on the cake for the Galician, that low center in the injury time that walked around the area and with which Bellingham, as it did in the Montjuïc classic, granted the victory to Real Madrid when the tie seemed like a fact. Goal, assist and a forced penalty. The dream Sunday for Lucas Vázquez who led a team that, inevitably, will be the winner of this League. In fact, the white fans are already thinking about next season. Xavi staythe final bars could be heard in the Bernabéu.
