Two controversial actions starred the victory of the Real Madrid against the Seville (2-1). The first was an apparently legal goal of Luuk of Jong that Martínez Munuera cancelled after review of the VAR by a supposed fault of Gudelj on Militao. The second, the goal of the hispalenses that yes went up to the marker -also of controversial form- annotated by the own Dutch forward after some supposed hands of Munir.

By part of the Seville, Julen Lopetegui, trainer of the Andalusian group, and Monchi, sportive director of the hispalenses, showed his tremenda indignation by the referee's performance and the interpretation of the VAR. Zinedine Zidane, in his back press conference, analysed both played and answered of conclusive form to both in front of the media.

"What can say is that I saw the played and is a blockade, there is fault, the referee looks the VAR and pita lacking. In the second there is hand, no the pita. I can not explain at all and do not go in never in valuing. They are the referees those that decide. Sometimes it happens against and sometimes in favour. It is a work complicated and does not be necessary to complain", said.

Besides, for Zidane, in the second goal of Of Jong, himself there was referee's error and did not have to go up to the marker by hands. "I do not think that it was so decisive the referee. It has done what had to do. In his goal there is hand, but does not have it pitado, what can say? I do not go to go in in this. It is a party complicated for all. We play in front of a good team, but the result is logical by what has happened in the field", ensured.
