In a heated moment during a match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, controversy erupted when Lamine Yamal took a shot at the goal. Goalkeeper Lunin made an impressive effort to save it, but many believed the ball had crossed the line. The referee ruled against it, sparking outrage among players, fans, and commentators alike.
The lack of goalline technology in LaLiga has been a point of contention for many. President of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, cited financial reasons as the reason behind the decision not to implement the system before the 2023/24 season. This makes LaLiga the only major European league without goalline technology.
Critics have slammed this decision, arguing that other top leagues like the Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A, and Ligue 1 have successfully integrated goalline technology. Goalline technology works by utilizing multiple cameras positioned around the goal to determine if the ball has crossed the line. When the system detects the ball crossing the line, it electronically notifies the referee, providing a clear and accurate decision.
Despite its proven effectiveness in other leagues, goalline technology remains a contentious issue in LaLiga. Many argue that its absence has led to controversy and calls for its implementation. With so much at stake on every play
