Kroos put Real Madrid ahead at Di Stéfano with a goal, but for a few moments the action ran the risk of being canceled, but not by the German. Benzema's previous reception on the left side of the attack offered doubts. Stable fernandez He continued and the action ended in a goal. Afterward, he waited for assistance from the VAR. Iturralde González, referee of the SER and AS, had serious doubts live, “it seems offside”, but technology cleared the doubts.

The frozen action shows how the Frenchman is in line with Eibar's last defender and therefore validates the action. “We cannot doubt the technology, it is a legal goal,” said Iturralde, who had an impact on how such actions are carried out from the VAR. “The referee of the room presses the button when the ball leaves the center and at that moment, the cameras are activated to locate the receiver at that moment,” said the former colleague.
