Madrid, March 13

Still mired in controversy over their payments to the company of a former refereeing committee official, Barcelona restored their lead over Real Madrid

to nine points in the Spanish league on Sunday after a late VAR decision went their way.

Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 after video review disallowed an 87th-minute goal by Bilbao forward Inaki Williams for a handball in the buildup. VAR was also used to

confirm Barcelona’s winning goal by Raphinha after it was initially disallowed for offside.

The review of Williams’ goal took nearly three minutes. When the decision was announced, it drew loud jeers from the home fans. — AP

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
