Vinicius Junior quickly leveled the score at 1-1 with a penalty in the 18th minute, adding to the high stakes.
The controversy hit its peak when Andriy Lunin made a critical save, clearing the ball from the goal line after Lamine Yamal’s flick at a corner sparked a fierce online debate about whether it crossed the line. The tension was palpable, with both sets of fans and pundits dissecting the moment.
Barcelona briefly took the lead again in the 69th minute through Fermin’s strike, but Real Madrid wasn’t down for long.
