By OnzeActu · · 4 min read
Before the Clasico, Real Madrid won their match against Sevilla thanks to three controversial actions that remained without sanction by the referee or the VAR. The controversy is growing at the Bernabéu.
Why it matters
Real Madrid's victory against Sevilla, marked by controversial refereeing decisions, raises questions about the integrity of officials in LaLiga football. The contentious actions, notably Güler's elbow and the penalty awarded to Mbappé, could have repercussions on the perception of the club and the league. This type of controversy can also influence the dynamics of the teams competing for the La Liga title.
Context
Güler, a young talent from Real Madrid, scored a decisive goal during this meeting, but his elbow on Peque raised questions about his behavior on the pitch. As a key player at a LaLiga club, his development and management of emotions will be crucial to his future with the team.
Key points
- Scandal at the Bernabéu.
- Before the Clasico, Real Madrid won their match against Sevilla thanks to three controversial actions that remained without sanction by the referee or the VAR.
- Escape to the Bernabéu.
The first contentious phase took place before Güler's superb goal: the Turkish player from Real allegedly elbowed Peque in the middle of the field. No report was made either by the on-field referee or by video assistance (VAR), according to the reported version. The lack of sanction for this intervention immediately fueled criticism and questions in the stands and on the networks.
The second contested situation occurred just before Mbappé's goal. A foul from Konaté, who interrupted a promising offensive action by Sevilla, would not have been called, thus depriving the Andalusians of a dangerous transition which could have changed the course of the match. Here again, neither the referee nor the VAR corrected the action, and the counter-attack then ended with the home side opening the score.

Finally, the third goal, transformed from a penalty by the same Mbappé, is described in the report as an "unjustified gift", since the fault at the origin of the penalty does not exist according to the images and analyzes relayed. The award of this penalty was perceived as incomprehensible and ended up igniting the controversy surrounding the match.
These three decisions – codazo ignored, foul not called, and penalty awarded – caused great discontent among observers and opposing supporters. They come a few days before a particularly anticipated Clasico, which risks further fueling tensions between the clubs and their supporters.
Without entering into definitive judgments on the arbitration, the facts reported paint the portrait of a meeting marked by questionable disciplinary and technical decisions. It remains to be seen whether the competent authorities (federation, refereeing commission) will make statements or initiate an examination of the images to clarify these events and, if necessary, sanction possible refereeing errors.
In any case, this new controversial episode at the Bernabéu relaunches the debate on the consistency of refereeing decisions and on the effective role of VAR in matches at the highest level.
The rest
Following this match, it is likely that LaLiga bodies will review disputed refereeing decisions, which could lead to discussions about improving VAR. Fans and analysts expect Real Madrid to be under fire, especially with the Clasico on the horizon. The performances of players like Güler and Mbappé will also be closely scrutinized in future matches.
