VAR’s Decision on Potential Penalty for Real Madrid in Girona Match

Real Madrid’s winless streak in La Liga extended to three games after a 1-1 draw with Girona, where they equalized through a Kylian Mbappe penalty following an Azzedine Ounahi goal. The team expressed dissatisfaction over a potential penalty not awarded for Rodrygo Goes in the 80th minute, but referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea deemed the contact insufficient. According to Mundo Deportivo, VAR did not intervene as it was not considered a clear and obvious error, aligning with the current CTA policy prioritizing the on-field referee’s decision. Xabi Alonso questioned this outcome, emphasizing the impact of such decisions on the game.
