VAR's Reply after Mbappé's Amazing Goal, Bernabéu Didn't Know if Celebrate It or Not

The first half of the Meringue team in this return to the Copa del Rey has been quite fruitful with a great goal by Mbappé. They are now ahead on the scoreboard with the Frenchman's goal, who is starting to show better performance. However, controversy didn't take long to appear and has also been present in this game.

This is due to an action where the Ukrainian goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, supposedly caused a penalty against Celta de Vigo. Following this, the goal action by Kylian Mbappé occurred in a counterattack led by him. After a quick analysis by the video arbitration room, it was determined that there was no infraction by the Meringue goalkeeper.

No controversy exists

It's no secret that VAR tends to be somewhat controversial when these types of situations arise. More so when it comes to anti-Madrid, which always seeks to harm the club in any way possible.

However, in this case, justice has been served, as in none of the shots can we clearly see an infraction by the goalkeeper. Something many forget, but if there is no clear shot, the maximum penalty can't be determined.

Therefore, in the end, video arbitration ended up declaring the goal in favor of the whites against Celta's wishes. However, it has been made clear that the action was not at all clear as they want to make it seem.
