What has sucedido in these last eleven days gives to concern . And a lot. The VAR had to appear to do the easiest things to the referees and to delete the controversies, but is causing the contrary effect: the referees relax trusting that the videoarbitraje will take them out of the difficulties, commit flagrant errors and incomprensiblemente the VAR no the corrije.

And there is a second reason by which concern: that all these errors favour to the same team. At the beginning we could speak of casualidad but... For real in so many actions has sucedido the same? For real the referees are being honest and does not form all part of a campaign to favour to the Real Madrid? For real it does not have at all that see that all there is sucedido after the call of Florentino Pérez?

For real that, if they review the controversies played by played, is to rub the eyes and the expression "to piss and not throwing drop" is honestly the less earthy to describe the feeling of impotence that gives to see the behaviour of the referees in these last eleven days after the stop. But this Sunday were further. The Real Madrid, that already had won the title mathematically, received another help... That commanded to the Leganés to Second Division.

To put us in situation: the Leganés was empatando to two goals against the Real Madrid and the Celtic of Vigo empataba to zero against the RCD Espanyol, what did that a goal of the Madrilenian awarded them the salvation. In the minute 84, Luka Jovic touched the balloon with the arm inside his own area and incomprensiblemente no pitó penalti. The VAR reviewed it and neither the rearbitró. A prank of bad taste.

The referees do not doubt

The referees in the media did not have doubts in the played. Eduardo Iturralde González, in statements for 'Ace', ensured that "for me is penalti. It is a jump with the arm in a no natural position as they say now. It has pitado penaltis by hand, by much less that this" and regretted that "in this type of played and more deciding a descent, from my opinion is much better that leave to the referee the possibility to see it in the monitor".

For Andújar Oliver, of 'Mark', neither there was discussion: "it Takes out the hand and seeing the penaltis that have signalled other days is incomprehensible that have not signalled penalti". At the end, all this arrives when no longer it can do at all, but leaves an evident question in the air: it Goes to be always like this? This is the new normality? As it costs to believe. But if the VAR follows favouring to the Real Madrid split after party, will cost to think that it is everything casual...
