JUST IN: LaLiga Set to Cancels Barça vs Mallorca Match Amid Bad Officiating Due to Unprofessionalism of the Officials. READ DETAILS
In an unprecedented move, LaLiga has decided to cancel the highly anticipated FC Barcelona vs RCD Mallorca fixture, citing glaring officiating failures that overshadowed the integrity of the match. The decision comes after widespread backlash over controversial decisions—including failed VAR interventions, a critical injury ignored during active play, and two red cards handed out in rapid succession—sparked accusations of incompetence and bias.
What was meant to be a thrilling season opener turned into a circus of controversy. Barcelona’s opening goal saw VAR ignore questionable ball-in-play footage, while during a head injury to Mallorca’s captain, play continued and a goal followed amid protests—infuriating fans on both sides. The double sending-off further deepened the chaos, drawing global criticism and chants of “Refereelona.” Fan and media outrage now forces the league’s hand—opting to cancel rather than risk further damage to the sport’s credibility.
LaLiga’s bold action sends a clear signal: officiating standards must be held to account or risk undermining the game itself. With both clubs now left in limbo, attention shifts to reforms that ensure fairness returns to Spain’s top flight.
