VAR cancels Mbappé's stunning goal, what Arnold does is brutal

Real Madrid could already be winning today's match, but VAR has prevented it

Great assist from Trent Alexander Arnold to Kylian Mbappé and a stunning goal from the Frenchman. This is what happened at the start of the match.

But right after, VAR disallowed the goal for offside and it did not go up on the scoreboard.

Once again, video refereeing is what prevents the Merengue side from scoring a goal that surely would have been key. This, along with the fact that now the team is behind on the scoreboard, completely changes the match.

VAR again

Last season was a real headache facing not only the referees, but also VAR. However, this time, although the decision is somehow justified, it causes annoyance among the fans.

Mbappé had scored again with a spectacular volley that left the opposing goalkeeper with no chance to stop it. However, even with Arnold's brilliant assist, it doesn't go up on the scoreboard. A millimetric offside leaves the Merengue side behind on the scoreboard right now.

Although Los Blancos seem like they will find the solution for this match, they will need to focus much more on scoring soon. Especially since Mallorca is starting to press more and the corner kicks are starting to take their toll.
