What occurred on Saturday in Mendizorroza through the Alavés – Atlético de Madrid and on the Santiago Bernabéu within the match between Actual Madrid and Mallorca leaves the arbitration collective very badly. In the identical approach it occurred two weeks in the past in Son Moix in Mallorca – Barça and spent once more on Sunday night time in Vallecas at Rayo Vallecano – Barça.
Whereas the brand new work group of the CTA is dedicated to transparency, it’s obscure why Munuera Montero – the referee that gave the purpose of Ferran Torres as legitimate when Raíllo was mendacity on the pitch when he obtained a ball within the head – is the one collegiate who did arbitrate in day 1 and doesn’t accomplish that within the third. It is going to be that they’ve assumed the error made by the Andalusian collegiate.
By Actual Madrid TV, the membership already expressed initially of the championship its mistrust of the brand new modifications and commissions created for this function, particularly the one born for the arbitration designation. On this transient time period suspicions have solely confirmed.
And it’s that from the membership they think about that nothing has modified with respect to the previous leaders of the CTA. The primary argument on which they’re based mostly is what occurred with Barça in Son Moix, the second has to do with the purpose (filter of play) that Giuliano Simeone marks towards Alavés, the third is the purpose that invalidates Arda Güler within the victory towards Mallorca and, lastly, the penalty they level out in favor of the Catalans earlier than the Rayo Vallecano that supposed the 0-1.
Disparate choices
Barça had a fairly snug season premiere to a Bermellón group that ended the sport with 9 gamers. Nonetheless, the controversy didn’t happen within the two expulsions, however for different actions of the sport.
For sure, the clearest reached 22 minutes of the sport. With Barça already sending within the luminous, Lamine Yamal He pulled a whip together with his left leg that was repelled together with his head by RAÍLLOcentral to the Balearic group.
The Captain of Mallorca went to the bottom shocked and José Luis Munuera Montero took the whistle to his mouth keen to cease the sport to serve the participant. That is what the regulation says: if a participant receives a blow to the top, the sport should be stopped instantly.
So it gave the impression to be. Nonetheless, after spending greater than 5 seconds with the whistle within the mouth, it didn’t sound at any time. The motion continued, Ferran Torres collected the rejection and ended up beating a Leo Román who was barely attentive to motion.
The Hansi Flick ended up taking the three factors earlier than the bewilderment of the gamers of Mallorca and Jagoba Rasto himself. Nobody might perceive the choice made by the Andalusian referee.
A final minute change
Throughout the improvement of the assembly on the Santiago Bernabéu, the information was recognized that Pablo González Fuertes, scheduled to be the arbitrator of VAR in Actual Madrid-Mallorca, was despatched to the fridge after his efficiency on the Alavés-Atlético de Madrid. Melero López changed him.
The Asturian referee was beforehand the principle referee of the VAR within the Duel of Mendizorroza, a gathering wherein he was questioned for the controversial choice to not cancel Giuliano Simeone’s purpose.

The Argentine discovered the background of Sivera’s meshes, however the goalkeeper was very superior and between the rojiblanco participant and the purpose line was solely a defender of Deportivo Alavés.
There weren’t two, the purpose shouldn’t have climb the scoreboard. He did it and, with a little bit of Carlos Vicente’s penalty, the match in Mendizorroza ended with 1-1.
“I was surprised. They are mistakes that should not happen. To see what happens, in the over -speaking and in use, but when the VAR is used it has to be to get it,” said Xabi Alonso at a press conference after the victory against Mallorca over the fault of the VAR in Vitoria.
From Real Madrid they do not understand how to act that a new designation committee has formed by Gregorio Manzano and Teixeira Vitienes, both in charge of “seeking consensus between the RFEF and the employer.”
And it is that the former director of Atlético de Madrid and Mallorca, among other teams, acknowledged having received the call from a Barça player when the Bermellón team won 1-2 at rest in the Bernabéu in the 2012-13 season.
Without revealing the name of the Barca footballer who called him up to five times, he left the insinuation that In the city they had a lot of interest in that result. Gregorio Manzano clarified in The coffee that the so -called “had no consequences” and was “a mere anecdote.”
No criteria with hands
José María Sánchez Martínez and Mario Melero López were able to cause the despair of Mbappé, the indignation of Real Madrid and the bewilderment of Arda Güler and that of most football fans.
With the 2-1 prevailing in the electronic after a fleeting comeback in the first part of Real Madrid in a minute, Arda Güler scored the goal of tranquility in 56 ‘. Although at first the Murcian collegiate valid the goal, from the Vor room they decreed a punishable hand of the Turkish player seconds before scoring the 3-1.
After a great play by Mbappé and Franco Mastantuono, the Argentine armed the shot, but Leo Román avoided the goal with his foot. The rejection was Valjent and in his attempt to clear the ball he gave Arda Güler, who was a few meters from him.
In an act reflected the ’15’ of Real Madrid protected the mouth of the stomach and the ball continued in motion inside the Mallorca area. After a new intervention of the goalkeeper, the Turk took advantage of the rejection, although incomprehensibly the goal would not end up rising to the scoreboard.
“We are going to check the hand if it is immediate, you know, Xabi? We are going to check the hand if it is immediate,” Sánchez Martínez explained to the Real Madrid coach when he headed to the monitor to see the play.
And it is that according to ‘Rule 12: Incorrect lack and conduct of the Official Regulations of the Spanish Football Federation’, in the section “Touch the ball with your hand”, it defines that if a player tries to score a goal deliberately playing the ball with his hand, the action is sanctioned and the goal is not used.
However, this standard also applies to “if the player marks directly by hand, whether voluntarily or accidentally, the play is considered and the play must be canceled.” However, Güler does not touch the ball with his hand at the time he runs the auction at the door.
The controversy did not stay on Saturday, but also moved to Sunday. Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona signed an intense tie, but the focus of the meeting stood in an arbitration decision by Mateo Busquets Ferrer that conditioned the development of the party.
A penalty about Lamine Yamal lit the local spirits, especially since the play could not be reviewed when the connection with the Vor room did not work throughout the first part.
Lamine transformed the maximum penalty and advanced to the set of Hansi Flick. The problem was not only the doubt of the play, but the absence of VAR in the middle of the year 2025something that ray players could not give credit.
The most revealing moment was lived in the rest tunnel at rest. The Dazn cameras captured Isi Palazón addressing their teammates and leaving a phrase that is already part of the controversy: “kids, the referee has just taken the error. He just assumed it.”

Real Madrid’s discomfort is evident. The White Club participated in the CTA change process, but not in the form of the new arbitration estate and in its commissions. That is why from the Sports Directorate they consider that regeneration should have been deeper.
