El Clásico Deserves Better Refereeing.

Barcelona drew a wild, nasty, crazy, ludicrous Clásico against Real Madrid 2-2, with an utterly dreadful performance from referee Alejandro José Hernández Hernández. It’s common for one team to feel particularly hard done by, and not always for logical reasons, but this time, both sets of fans were upset with his work. Considering it was a draw with only pride on the line, that’s kind of a big deal, isn’t it?

We could spend all day talking about the myriad controversies and whether one team or the other got more out of the refereeing than the other, but at the end of the day it will be hard to reach 100% agreement on that score.
