MADRID—Closer than ever to the title, Barcelona finished the last Spanish league “clasico” of the season by celebrating on the field at Camp Nou. Real Madrid was left complaining about the refereeing after seeing its chances of retaining the title all but end.
“We are still not sure that it was an offside,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said about Asensio’s goal. “It didn’t look to be 100% an offside. We will go back to Madrid with that doubt.”“It was clearly offside, I’m surprised by Ancelotti’s comments,” he said. “It’s either offside or it isn’t. There is no debate. The result was fair.”
Barcelona won eight league titles in 11 seasons through 2019. It finished second to Madrid in 2020, then third—behind Madrid and champion Atletico Madrid—in 2021, and second to Madrid again last season without Lionel Messi. It is seeking its 27th league title, which would leave it eight behind Madrid.
Madrid thought it had gone ahead when Asensio found the net from near the penalty spot after a pass by Dani Carvajal, but video review determined the goal couldn’t count because of offside in a tight call.
