What FIFA says about the controversial refereeing of FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid

It was the game of the week, the whole world comes to a standstill every time "El Clasico" is played, that is, Real Madrid vs Barcelona. This time, it was a decisive match in the fight for the La Liga championship, and FC Barcelona emerged victorious 2-1, with a controversial arbitration.

The game was as even as possible, with the score 1-1, and that was when the most controversial move of the match came. Marco Asensio scored the 1-2 that gave Real Madrid the victory, towards the end of the game, however, the VAR decided to annul the goal for an alleged offside.

The critics of the fans began to appear when they realized that the lines to measure the offside were, to say the least, doubtful. In addition, coming from the context in which Barcelona meets the referees, the anger of the Real Madrid fans was notorious on social media.

What does FIFA say?

It was considered that Marco Asensio was offside because he was in front of the opponent's line, that is, the shoulder of the FC Barcelona footballer against the shoulder of the Real Madrid player, since the hands do not count because only parts of the body are taken valid to convert goals, so the Spanish creative was offside by a few centimeters.
