In the spotlight: The great controversies of Sevilla-Madrid

The Real Madrid achieved a traced back epic in Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán to approach to the title of LaLiga Santander. The group directed by Carlo Ancelotti happened of the 2-0 to the 25 minutes to the 2-3 definite to add three key points in this final phase of the championship. It was a thrilling night and of good football in Seville, but was not excenta of a lot of controversy.

Stable Fernández was the big protagonist of the night, in the worst of the senses. The referee was not hit and left three actions that generated too many controversies that have caused a lot of protests in the social networks and also between the players, trainers and surroundings of both clubs, that do not explain the performance of the referee.

The controversy began very soon, in the 17, when the Madrid demanded a possible penalti by hand of Diego Carlos inside the area. The defender did not understand with the guardameta Moroccan after a corner and finish touching the spherical with his hand. The Madrid understood that it was a penal clear, whereas it Squares Fernández did not receive the call of attention of the VAR and followed the party without more.

There are several opinions found. The referee of the daily ACE and the Chain BE, Iturralde González, stood out that "I think that launches the hand clarísimamente and is penalti. It is not that it hit him in the hand to Diego Carlos, is that it throws for up the manor. If pita yesterday the one of Foulquier in Valencia-Osasuna, it is necessary pitar the one of Diego Carlos today", whereas Pérez Burrull, in the program 'Marker' of Radius Marks, signalled that "Bono treats of blocar the balloon, bumps with his mate and the spherical strikes in the arm of the central sevillista but without any voluntariedad. It hits the referee to the not signalling the maximum penalty".

The controversy did not detain there and in the following action benefited the Madrid in front of the uncertainty of the main referee. In the 39', Camavinga saved of the expulsion by double yellow after a hard entrance on Martial that left him practically lesionado. Stable Fernández did not signal fault, much less yellow, and yes showed the cardboard to the player of the Seville for protesting.

Iturralde Considers that "for me is fault and second caution. But the referee does not see the fault, goes running by behind and thinks that Camavinga hits him to the balloon. It would have to have been lacking and second caution, by the fault and because it left in promising attack. By any one of the two things", whereas Burrul stood out that "I consider that to expel to a footballer does fault something more, is not a promising attack and Stable hits to the not taking out the card in the entrance on Martial".

At all?

Camavinga Was admonished.

There was hand of Vinícius Jr?

To fault of little more than fifteen minutes for the end, lit the controversy in Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán with a goal cancelled to Vinícius Jr by a rigorous hand of the Brazilian to the moment to finish. Stable Fernández cancelled it immediately, but finished going to the VAR, where rectified his decision in front of the protests of the madridistas, that complained that the balloon had touched in the sleeve of 'Vini'.

The referee of ACE and the BE explained that "it is a played in which it does not have to go in the VAR. The VAR came for obvious errors, clear and self-evident. The ones of the Madrid will see that they touch it with the shoulder and the ones of the Seville touches it more with the biceps. If the VAR calls him is because Churches Villanueva sees that it touches it with the shoulder. And again we go back to speak of consistency".

It added, besides, that "two referees, a same image, one sees that it hits him in the hand and another that does not hit him. Very difficult to explain. I with the images see more than hits him with the shoulder, by what would be goal", but Burrul thought in the 'Marker' that "is to the limit and the referee took his time to review the VAR. It is a played that it has to resolve and decanted for cancelling it when understanding that the player of the Real Madrid accommodated the balloon with the arm".
