“It’s a television penalty”

Shakhtar was able to get ahead at the Bernabéu minutes before Benzema scored the 1,000th goal in Real Madrid’s history in the European Cup. The Ukrainian team requested a penalty in the 8th minute for a fall by Dodo in the area, hindered by Militao who put his arm to hinder the advance of the right side of the team that Roberto De Zerbi coaches.

“He puts his arm on it, the two of them are racing … It is not VAR, but you do not have to put your arm on it. If it whistles it, you eat it. For me it is more a television penalty than a field penalty. That a defender does not do that, because if the referee whistles it, you cannot say no“, Iturralde González, AS referee, explained in the live broadcast of the Sports Carousel from Cadena SER.
