Clear red card forgiven for Romero, he studs Mbappé and only sees yellow.

Once again Real Madrid is harmed by refereeing.  We just saw a very clear expulsion for a tackle by Romero on Kylian Mbappé.

The Espanyol player  planted his studs on the Frenchman from Real Madrid, but neither the referee nor the VAR considered anything. The decision by the referee is tremendous, but especially by the VAR, where everything is becoming increasingly controversial.

VAR is once again the protagonist

It hasn't been the first action where the VAR room is the protagonist in this match, showing an extremely decadent level. In the first half, they missed an obvious penalty for a handball in an unnatural position. Now, to everyone's surprise, a clear red card foul is simply sanctioned with a yellow and without further review.

The victim is Kylian Mbappé who was extremely hurt by the obvious "tackle" from the Espanyol rival. However, the field referee's complacency, in complicity with the VAR, orchestrated an infamous action. The only good news from all this is that at least Mbappé hasn't been injured by this action.

Romero continues on the field in what is still a scoreless draw. A circumstance that could be relevant for the loss of points for the white club that seeks to remain at the top of LaLiga. But what is evident is that both the CTA and the general refereeing in Spain make things very complicated and even embarrassing.
