The 16-year-old Yamal scored a possible goal for the Catalans when the score was 1-1. However, it could not be clearly proven whether the ball had fully crossed the goal line. But it wasn’t a mistake on the part of the referee, said ter Stegen.
“Maximum injustice”
Due to the defeat – Real’s winning goal was scored by former Dortmund player Jude Bellingham in stoppage time – Barça, eleven points behind Real, has little chance of defending the championship title.

This means that the Catalans, who are used to success, will probably come away empty-handed this season. “If you don’t win a title in the end, we will be disappointed – especially in ourselves. Ultimately, we are the ones who failed in crucial moments,” said former Gladbacher ter Stegen.
Barça coach Xavi spoke of “maximum injustice”. His team deserved the three points against Real. “Everyone saw the referee’s performance. You can punish me, but the pictures are there for everyone to see,” said the former world and European champion, who only complained heavily about the referee during the week against PSG and saw the red card during the game.

Lewandowski weak
A few days after losing the Champions League against Paris, Barcelona took their first lead through Andreas Christensen (6th minute). The Dane took advantage of a mistake by Real goalkeeper Andrej Lunin with his header. Vinicius Junior equalized with a penalty (18th).
In stoppage time in the first half, FC Barcelona – DFB captain Ilkay Gündogan was also in the starting line-up alongside Ter Stegen – lost midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman was taken off the pitch on a stretcher after injuring his ankle during a press strike with Valverde.
Former Bundesliga striker Robert Lewandowski played poorly. The Pole was replaced by Pedri in the 64th minute. Shortly afterwards, Fermin, who was also a substitute (69th), scored with a goal to take the lead again. The joy didn’t last long, because Real hit back: Lucas Vazquez (73′) gave the strong goalkeeper ter Stegen no chance with a direct pass. And when it looked like a draw, Jude Bellingham struck, scoring his 17th goal in the Spanish league.
