The Madrid derby witnessed a controversial penalty situation that Real had to receive. It is noteworthy that the Royal team has just criticized the arbitration system in Spain.
The Madrid derby between Real and Atletico took place extremely dramatic. The continuous opportunities are created when both teams try to have an early advantage.
The turning point of the match occurred in the 32nd minute when the referee decided to review the situation through VAR to determine whether or not a penalty. Accordingly, Aurelien Tchouameni fouled Samuel Lino in the Real penalty area. The ball comes from Javi Galan’s pass, but both the Real Madrid midfielder and Atletico’s winger cannot touch the ball.
After consideration, the decision was made: Atletico Madrid was entitled to a penalty. Just a minute later, Julian Alvarez did not make any mistakes on the 11m mark, gently defeated goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to open the score for the visitors.
However, the Real media affirmed that this is a situation of unjust penalties of the Bernabeu team. The Marca wrote: “We have to get used to the fact that these actions, with Var, will be punished. There are collisions? Yes. But there is no Tchouameni’s fault.”
The Marca analyzed: “The referee Var called the referee to inform him that there was an action that could be reviewed on the pitch and urged him to continue the conversation when he was in front of the camera lens.”
“There, the referee said that the first angle was unclear, but he quickly found a better angle. After viewing the image, the referee Soto Grado said he would blow a penalty, but but No scene has a card.
