CNN —Barcelona manager Xavi and goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen have labeled La Liga “embarrassing” for its lack of goal-line technology after the team was denied what it thought was a legitimate goal in Sunday’s 3-2 El Clásico defeat by Real Madrid. The camera angles provided by VAR were inconclusive – including one looking directly down the goal line that was blocked by Lunin’s body – meaning Soto’s original decision stood. According to FIFA, goal-line technology can notify a referee within “a second” if the whole of the ball has crossed the line. Barcelona's German Marc-Andre ter Stegen called La Liga's lack of goal-line technology 'embarrassing.' “I can’t find the words to explain what happened on the goal line,” Ter Stegen told reporters, per ESPN.

That result cost Real their place at the top of the table, with Girona moving two points ahead, and although Bellingham finished the game he was doubtful for the Braga tie. "It would be important, at this stage of the season, to finish the group stage in four games," Ancelotti said. "If Puyol wants to talk to Vinicius, let him talk," Ancelotti said. Ancelotti's side took a 2-0 lead at Braga but the home team pulled one back in the 63rd minute to make for a nervous ending. Real top Group C with nine points followed by Napoli on six, with Braga in third place with three points.
