With tensions running high at the Santiago Bernabeu, the spotlight shifted to a controversial late incident involving Kylian Mbappe.

Another one, another week. That’s the way it is, and that’s just how it goes. ” Attacking the referee Mbappe suffered a nasty blow.

Arbeloa openly questioned the consistency of the system, offering a brutally honest take. “ I don’t even understand it, and I don’t think… anyone does.
When VAR intervenes… I guess it’s when it’s convenient, and when it’s not, well, it doesn’t. “It’s a play that, to me, is crystal clear. They called a foul on Kylian in the first half that, well, to me, was less than a penalty.
