The arbitration grievances that outrage Real Madrid

The fight for the League has four protagonists and an exceptional guest: the VAR. The Real Madrid-Sevilla in which it was decided whether the future of the whites was in the hands of Zidane's was marked by controversy, to such an extent that the French coach, always restrained in his statements on arbitration proceedings, exploded, in his own way, on this occasion.

There have been seven games (in four of them he was in the VAR González González, who carried out that work this Sunday for the game against Sevilla, although one of the disputed decisions was because Hernández Hernández opposed him) in which Madrid he feels especially aggrieved by controversial decisions that were turned against him. Only in the last five days have Madrid felt affected by arbitration decisions in three games in which it could have converted two draws into as many victories. Six points with which he could be in a position to sing the alirón this next Tuesday in Granada …

Valencia 4 – Real Madrid 1 (J9) | Three penalties against

Referee: Gil Manzano. VAR referee: Iglesias Villanueva.

Madrid's only defeat so far as a visitor in the league came in the most controversial game of the season. Up to three penalties against Zidane's had to face, a record in the club's history. The first penalty came at game time, with 0-1 on the scoreboard, a hand in Lucas Vázquez's area that the Galician didn't even protest. Courtois stops Soler's penalty in the first instance and Musah scores in the rebound, but Gil Manzano, at the request of the VAR, orders it to be repeated because Lucas and Musah invade the area at the moment of the launch. Soler marks it on the second try.

More controversial were the other two maximum penalties. The second of the game, which was 3-1, by a knockdown of Marcelo to Maxi Gómez in the small area. Gil Manzano pointed to the penalty spot without the need for VAR intervention. The Extremaduran did have to go to the monitor to point out the third maximum penalty of the match for a hand from Sergio Ramos.
