Iturralde ‘la lía’ and explains the difference between the Ramos and Piqué penalty

A lot of controversy has caused yesterday's encounter between the Atlético de Madrid and the FC Barcelona, where the Indians beat the Catalans 3-2 and will be measured at Real Madrid at the end of the Super Cup Sunday. One of the controversies was due to a penalty of Pique for a hand that did not whistle, while last Wednesday they did with the team of Zidane in a hand of Sergio Ramos when playing against Valencia Your pass to the final. Iturralde, referee of the SER chain He explained why this situation is.

“Why yesterday on the penalty of Bouquets they tell the referee “go see him” and today they don't tell the referee “go see her”? If today he is in the VAR the same referee as yesterday, because he says “go see her”, but as it's a matter of hands and it's a matter of criteria, and there are 22 criteria, then the same thing will happen to us in this play“said the former referee.

In addition, it was already commenting that these failures are probably not the fault of the new VAR technology, but rather of the referees who are in charge of visualizing the plays, an assessment that has affirmed Iturralde: “But this is an interpretation problem, as there are 22 criteria in the VOR, there will be 11 that agree and 11 that don't. As long as the protocol is not clarified and the same, this will be a lottery“.

However, there are many who have been scandalized with both moves, one punished and one not, because there are no differences between the two while there is punishment for the Real Madrid and not for him FC Barcelona. (Barça has arbitrations on demand: Ramos' hand, penalty; Piqué's hand, no)
