Eventually, a 91st-minute Jude Bellingham winner got the better of Barça. However, today, club president Joan Laporta published a video asking for evidence that Yamal’s shot did not, in fact, go in.

Laporta also threatened that depending on the Technical Committee’s response, they might ask for a re-match against Real Madrid.
Madrid unbothered
While Barcelona and their board push for evidence, Madrid are completely unbothered about the situation. They consider Laporta’s words as a mere threat, and will not respond to the same.
The two clubs have been in a feisty relationship of late, especially with…
