Penalty denied against Real, former referee explains why VAR did not intervene:

Real Madrid could have won the match against Girona yesterday if a penalty had been awarded to Mbappe in the 88th minute. The Real striker was left bleeding on the pitch, but referee Alberola Rojas did not consider it a penalty.

The responsibility also rests with the VAR, which did not intervene. Where Trujilo Suarez did not signal for a review of the case. Former referee, Eduardo IIturalde Gonzalez, considers it a clear error.

"Why isn't VAR involved? Because there are instructions that it shouldn't interfere in these types of games. It seems like a clear penalty to me. To me, it's a clear and obvious mistake," the former referee said.

Real Madrid think it's a clean steal. Barcelona now has the chance to break away from the top by 9 points.
