VAR Missed a Clear Penalty on Vinícius

Real Madrid started dominating the match, with a very incisive Vinícius, who created danger every time he touched the ball. The Brazilian claimed a penalty two minutes in for a stomp by Lejeune inside the area, but neither the referee nor VAR considered it a reason to sanction.

Twelve minutes later, he was about to score with a shot from the edge of the box, but first, Batalla's great intervention and then the post prevented the ball from going in.

However, it was his assist that led to the first goal of the match, by making a deep pass to Mbappé at the half-hour mark. The Frenchman did the rest: he outplayed Lejeune inside the area and took advantage of the visiting defender's rebound to score.

From There, Real Madrid Found the 2-0 Thanks to a Great Individual Play by Vinícius. Rayo Vallecano could have narrowed the gap with a great shot by Pedro Díaz, but the white team ended up winning the match.

Real Madrid TV's Reaction to the Possible Penalty on Vinícius

Real Madrid TV, during the match commentary, took the opportunity to discuss the controversial play involving Vinícius and Lejeune.

"They Called the Penalty on Tchouaméni and Camavinga at the Time. Following the Same Criteria, This Should Be a Penalty", they commented.

"This Is How It Is. Mediapro Broadcasts, VAR...", added the commentators of Real Madrid TV.

Despite Everything, Madrid Was Able to Win the Match, but the Action, with the Score Tied, Could Have Put the White Team Ahead Earlier.
