The 4-1 victory of Real Madrid over Sevilla had an asterisk, a contentious action before the score was opened that could have changed the course of the match. Durante un incidente de juego, Peque atrapó a Arda Güler, quien se liberó del agarre y podría haber golpeado al jugador de Sevilla en la cara con el codo, sin embargo, el árbitro no expulsó al turco ni revisó la situación con el VAR. Esto llevó al juego a detenerse durante varios minutos, mientras la tensión en el campo aumentó, con varios futbolistas recibiendo amonestaciones, como Dean Huijsen, por enfrentarse entre sí. Finally, and in the absence of clear images before the editing of television networks, the video arbitration did not call for a review of Mateo Busquets Ferrer. «We have been deprived of playing a 11 against 10 match,» commented Luis Garcia Plaza, Sevilla’s coach, in a press conference after the match was over. Kike Salas, a central player for Sevilla, also protested, stating that the action is a clear expulsion that makes a difference. It should be remembered that Real Madrid’s next league commitment, on Sunday at 9:00 PM, will be against FC Barcelona, a Classic in which Vinícius is already sanctioned. If Güler had seen the red card, he wouldn’t have been able to play in one of the most important games of the merengue season either.
