Marciniak and VAR Miss a Clear Penalty in Favor of Real Madrid

Atlético de Madrid is winning this match 1-0, making it 2-2 on aggregate. But the most serious thing is the "robbery" we just witnessed.

Vinícius was coming in from the left and Cholo Simeone's son clearly touched the ball with his hand. The referee didn't call anything and the VAR was surely asleep. Another "robbery".

The refereeing is up to its old tricks with a simply ridiculous decision by the central referee and the VAR. The handball is obvious and yet, with the replays, they didn't even bother to look at it.

Another Robbery Against Madrid

Everything seems to indicate that not even in European competitions is Real Madrid safe from this kind of actions. In this regard, it was a more than obvious handball by Simeone, the son of the Argentine coach, in his own area.

Despite this, they didn't even bother to look at it in the VAR, where they practically omitted it immediately. At the same time, Marciniak also completely ignored it despite having a very good view of the specific play. You could even see the Italian coach on the bench not understanding this decision.

For now, the white team is down by a single goal and the aggregate is tied. However, this decision might at some point be decisive for the classification of these teams. Although it seems curious that, once again, the balance tips against the Merengues.
