Edu Aguirre Defines the VAR and Tchouaméni's Penalty in 5 Words: 'They've F...'

What happened in the classic this past Saturday seems like it's going to continue generating a lot of controversy. We were coming from a very hectic week after what happened in Cornellà. It doesn't seem like what happened at Bernabéu will help calm the spirits at all.

Atlético took the lead with a more than questionable penalty by Tchouaméni on Samu Lino. An international former referee like Mateu Lahoz was shocked that it was called. But even so, the red-and-whites try to justify an action that falls apart on its own.

The anger of Madridists has been increasing after hearing the VAR audios. But even live, Edu Aguirre seemed not to agree with the decision made by the referee. He did so on El Chiringuito, where he couldn't understand how it was called by millimeters, even though Tchouaméni got there first.

But it was after the match that he wanted to express his displeasure using social media. On his Twitter profile, he left a message where he defined the VAR and Tchouaméni's penalty. "They've ruined soccer," he wrote, 5 very forceful words that make it clear.

The Incomprehensible Decision of the VAR That Many Try to Ignore

De Burgos Bengoetxea was looking at the play for a long time trying to find something against Real Madrid. With the stomp, he had it and called Soto Grado to the monitor after a while. But the most surprising part comes with the conversation they had.

From the VAR they were telling him to look at the stomp, although they aren't authorized to indicate what happened. And when they asked for more angles to properly assess the play, they were told they weren't good. Something surprising and that shows that from Las Rozas they guided his interpretation.

It's surprising that this happens just the week after the inaction of the VAR. Carlos Romero's tackle was a red card as pointed out in the rest of the world. But here, in Spain, that action went unpunished, was decisive for the result, and now this happens.
