Spanish media all say same thing about Marcus Rashford after Barcelona derby win
Marcus Rashford experienced a rollercoaster performance during Barcelona’s 4-1 win over Espanyol, redeeming a significant missed opportunity with a world-class volley as title celebrations draw closer.

VAR controversy stuns Camp Nou as Ferran Torres denied hattrick
Barcelona’s 3-1 victory over Espanyol was overshadowed by a controversial VAR decision that disallowed a Ferran Torres goal, sparking fresh debate over officiating standards in La Liga.
Barcelona faced further refereeing drama during Saturday’s Catalan Derby after Ferran Torres was denied a hattrick by a disputed VAR intervention.
While leading 2-0, Torres netted a third, but officials ruled Eric Garcia offside in the buildup. The released tactical image caused widespread confusion among supporters, especially following the club’s midweek frustrations.
Despite the setback, Lamine Yamal’s late strike secured a 3-1 win.
The decision arrives amidst heightened tensions, with Real Madrid TV recently escalating the war of words by claiming, “This is the Negreira League.”
Hansi Flick’s side remained resilient despite a nervy second half following Espanyol’s consolation goal.
While the victory keeps Barcelona atop the table, the bizarre offside call remains a major talking point as the club continues to navigate high-stakes officiating scrutiny.

Real Madrid cut ties with Spanish Football Federation due to ‘adulterated’ competition
Real Madrid have officially cut ties with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) following a controversial draw with Girona, alleging the domestic competition is “adulterated” by biased refereeing standards.
Real Madrid have formally severed relations with the RFEF, citing systemic officiating failures in La Liga. The decision was catalyzed by a rejected late penalty appeal for Kylian Mbappé during Friday’s 1-1 draw with Girona.
The club maintains that the competition is “adulterated” and refuses to engage with the federation until there is a “complete change in the refereeing system,” according to club sources.
The standoff comes despite recent attempts by RFEF President Rafael Louzán to integrate Madrid into refereeing reforms.
Relations have soured significantly, with manager Alvaro Arbeloa expressing fury over the latest decisions as Madrid’s title hopes fade.
Arbeloa doubled down on the controversy, stating, “It’s a penalty from here to the moon,” further highlighting the breakdown in communication between the club and the CTA.
