The controversial hand of Militao in Di Stéfano leaves several points out. First the regulation, for its continuous change in the norm of the hands. And second, the VAR referee, González González, whom Madrid has pointed out through its official television. González, who last season hung up the whistle after being 45 years old and unable to continue on the pitch, has specialized in VAR tasks, where he can continue to develop his career. During this season he has been present in several matches of the whites, leaving decisions from the VOR Room that hurt the whites, but also benefited them..
Betis – Real Madrid (2-3)
Referee: De Burgos Bengoetxea; VAR: González González
His interventions from the VOR were decisive for De Burgos to change two of his decisions and that led to the victory of Real Madrid. The first action occurred in the 64th minute, when Jovic was offside to Benzema's pass, González drew the line and saw that there was none and decided to notify the referee to the monitor. González had seen that without orsay, Emerson's push to Jovic was red as he was last man and cut a clear chance of scoring, therefore, he had to be sent off. Something that ended up happening.
In addition, when nobody noticed, not even from Madrid they claimed it, González González saw a hand from Bartra in the area and notified De Burgos. The referee, after seeing it, points it out and Ramos scores a penalty. Something that helped Madrid to take the three points from Villamarín.
Real Madrid – Alavés (1-2)
Referee: Cordero Vega. VAR: González González
One of the great controversies of the season occurred at Madrid-Alavés. The whites demanded several actions: first, a penalty from Duarte on Hazard. Neither referee nor VAR pointed it out. There is also a hair pulling from Laguardia to Marcelo. Sources consulted by this newspaper pointed out that in the images that reached the VOR room it could not be seen clearly and that those that turned around and went viral belonged to Movistar cameras that did not belong to the broadcast …
There was also another controversial action. Cordero whistled a penalty by Nacho's hand after a shot from Laguardia. The ball hit the arm but was on the border of what can be considered an arm or shoulder.
Real Madrid-Atlético (1-1)
Referee: Hernández Hernández; VAR: González González
In the last Madrid derby González González did intervene from the VAR by hand. It was in a play in which there was a ball hanging in the area that touches Felipe's hand. Hernández Hernández does not indicate anything and González González calls the monitor. The canary, after seeing it, maintains its decision; despite the fact that González believed that it was a punishable hand in favor of Madrid.
Real Madrid – Betis (0-0)
Referee: Estrada Fernández; VAR: González González
Neither Estrada Fernández nor González González considered that of Miranda after a shot from Militao. An action that could be considered as arm at shoulder height and that therefore it should be sanctioned.
Real Madrid – Sevilla (2-2)
Referee: Martínez Munuera; VAR: González González
And the game that has angered Real Madrid with González González. The VAR referee acted twice. First for nullify Benzema's goal for offside by Odriozola. And, second, to notify Martínez Munuera of a hand from Militao (Martinez had just whistled a penalty in favor of Madrid, having to cancel this to award it in favor of Sevilla). Martínez Munuera, who after seeing him in the VAR coincided with González González's criteria, pointed it out and Rakitic transformed it. A goal that would be worth a draw.
