El Clásico: Real Madrid beat Barcelona, ​​as Koeman doubts the validity of Ramos’ penalty

The imputation of a penalty to Sergio Ramos after reviewing the technique of the assistant video was the turning point of the game. Referee Juan Martínez Monoeira did not discover that Clement Lenglet Ramos had removed his shirt, but in the end he conceded a penalty after seeing the shot on screen.

Barcelona’s claim for a penalty was rejected twice, when Raphael Varane intercepted Lionel Messi, and the possibility of Varane’s hand.

“I don’t understand VAR, I think it’s only used to make decisions against Barcelona,” said Koeman, whose team only added seven points from five games.

“A jersey like this is always thrown in the area and I think Ramos made a mistake with Linglelet first. There is a pull on the jersey, but not enough that it lags behind like it did. penalty “.

“We played five games and (VAR) was only used against Barcelona. It was never used to our advantage … the decision had a big impact on the final result, because we were playing well until the penalty.”

While Ramos said: “I think it was a very clear penalty. He took my shirt off when I was jumping for the ball and it was as clear as daylight. It is unfair to criticize a referee for a decision as clear as that.”

With this result, Real Madrid climbed to the top of the Spanish League standings with 13 points from six games, six points behind Barcelona.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has not lost any of his six games as coach at the Camp Nou, with three wins and three draws.

After the game he described it as “the perfect show”.

Morale may have been low after defeats in their previous games against Cádiz in La Liga and Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

But they got off to a great start when Benzema sent the ball to Valverde, who hit the far corner, leaving Netto with no chances.

It is the first time the two teams have scored twice in the first eight minutes of the Spanish League Classic since 1940, after Fati drew directly.

After that, Barcelona threatened to dominate but Real gave a good return to the game.

Ramos scored from a ground kick against Neto, and this is the first time he has scored 10 goals in the Spanish League in a year.

In the final moments of the match, Modric managed to bypass Netto and skillfully put the ball into the net.

Real Madrid have not lost three Clasico games for the first time since 2012-2013.

“I am happy with the players,” said Zidane. “It’s a team win.”

“Given the criticism we have faced recently, we must remain calm, stick together and play when we have to play, just like we did today.”

“In the end, we put in a great performance against a team that we know plays openly.”

It may be too early to talk about real pressure, but Barcelona’s seven-point tally from five games is a bad start, as Koeman feared.

They were good for much of El Clásico and dominated for a while, but Real deserved to win in the end.

Striker Fati was one of three youngsters on the Barcelona squad, along with Pedri and right-back Sergio Dest, who became the first American to play in El Clásico.

Fati, who became the first player under 18 to score in El Clásico, and Dest, who arrived from Ajax earlier this month, were two of Barcelona’s best players.

Coman will almost certainly ask how Philippe Coutinho, who had not played a good game, played the full 90 minutes, or why he made no changes until the 81st minute.

The push from Antoine Griezmann and Othman Dembele, two of the most expensive players of all time, came too late and they failed to make a real impact. As for Lionel Messi, he was far from his form and did not score in six El Clásico games.
