Twitter reacts to Bale being robbed of goal, Ronaldo avenging him
Saturday's El Clasico at the Camp Nou was marred by several questionable calls by referee Alejandro Hernandez, but none of them were more grievous than Gareth Bale's late disallowed header 10 minutes before time.
Unsurprisingly, people on Twitter were quick to respond:
Can they think of a way to disallow that one? Give em a minute...

Officiating is a joke in Spain

That's a shocker of a decision.

That's quite frankly a ridiculous decision. You'd think decent refereeing is the least you'd expect in the biggest match on the planet.. 😒

Karma came to Real Madrid's aid moments later, when Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero with a dazzling match-winner.
I'd say justice was done there. #ElClasico
