For Iturralde the goal annulled to Januzaj is not offside, but Estrada hits the rest

He Real Sociedad-Real Madrid It has been marked by several controversial plays. All of them in the second part. The first was the penalty that Vinicius whistled and which was 0-1 after the launch of Sergio Ramos. For Iturralde González, analyst at AS: “The penalty is a penalty because Llorente kicks him in Vinicius' right leg just before shooting, then he already takes a step and stumbled because of the tripping hitting the ball badly. Penalty and warning perfectly assessed.”

The second play of the night was 0-1 and meant the draw of Real Sociedad. Januzaj scored from outside the box, but the goal was annulled Mikel Merino in positional offside right in front of Courtois. Iturralde González considers that the goal should have gone up to the scoreboard: “The interference on an opponent, in this case the goalkeeper, is measured by the distance of the player out of play with the goalkeeper, if this player prevents his field of vision or if he makes any movement to move away or duck so that he does not give him the ball. That is, the interference in some cases like this is very subjective, we are not talking about a factual cause. I personally think that it is not offside. He says that the Real player is outside the small area, so he is at least more than 5.50 meters from the goalkeeper. “

The next controversy only took three minutes to arrive, 70 minutes, and was 0-2 in the match. Benzema scored the second goal for Zidane's team after controlling with a shoulder a cross from Fede Valverde. The Frenchman turned to the defenders and beat Remiro. The VAR checked that it was not a hand. The AS analyst said of the action: “There is no 100% certainty that he will be hit with the shoulder or the arm. For the referee it is not a hand. What the referee says is fine. It is such a play to the limit that the VAR will never enter. That ball comes with snow and you can have the ball there. If he hits the arm it comes out stiffer. “A play in which Iturralde added:” Right now there is the VAR and since they cannot say 100% sure that it is a hand or not, the VAR never enters.

The former colleague assured about the color of the card Casemiro: “If he draws red no one can say anything. He goes very hard with his elbow. He is not 100% red, he is like the hand and that is why the VAR does not enter. Those plays are so extreme neither with this VAR nor with another VAR. People will never agree. “
