Real Madrid easily beat Celta de Vigo, but with the 1-0 there was once again a controversial move that could end in Celtiña 1-1. Ferland Mendy touched the ball with his hand inside the area in an action that the referee and the VAR interpreted as involuntary
The Real Madrid did not fail in his first proof of fire of this new year 2021 and surpassed with relative ease to the Celtic of Vigo. The party put very of face for the ones of Zinedine Zidane at all more start thanks to a goal of Lucas Vázquez of head to centre of Marco Asensio. The target of the Galician encarriló the crash and complicated a lot the things to the celtiñas, that did not know to hurt to the whites.
But the meeting could have given a complete twist to the edge of the half hour if the referee or the VAR had decided pitar penalti in a hand of Ferland Mendy inside the area. In the minute 28, already with the 1-0 in the marker, Renato Wall commanded the balloon to the arm of the left side. All the footballers of the Celtic complained by the action, but the referee did not signal absolutely at all.
The vigueses launched on the referee, that after going out the balloon was consulted the action with the VAR. Of Boroughs Bengoetxea left clear that the French had the arm hit and that it was involuntary, doing gestures with his own arm. After seconds of query, from the VAR estimated exactly the same and the party followed with absolute normality.
The true is that Mendy had the arm hit to the body and that even was hiding it when the ball struck him. In fact, Iturralde González gave him the reason to the referee in the 'BE' and cleared that it was involuntary. "This is not hand never", affirmed with rotundity the ex referee of the Basque school. But in spite of this, a hand inside the area always is controversial and suits to speak on this.
The hands are being one of the main controversial of this campaign in LaLiga. The referees do not finish to clear and what some days is infringement, the next day is not it. By this reason, fans complained and demanded penalti by this action of the left-handed side. This is something that from the Referee's Committee would have to review and solve, since it is something worrisome.
The Madrid, ally with the VAR this campaign
In key Madrid, the merengues have starred infinity of controversial decisions this campaign. Many of them, the majority, in fact, have benefited them, something that has left to the barcelonismo tremendously annoying. In the FC Barcelona understand that to the whites helps them from the VAR and carry complaining all the course, as it left clear Joan Laporta in his last interview.
