A correct decision? The referee overturns a penalty awarded against Manchester City

Real Madrid are hosting Manchester City in their UEFA Champions League Matchday 6 showdown at the Bernabéu, and the officials faced a contentious moment almost immediately.

Details: In the third minute, a Manchester City defender brought down Vinícius, and the referee initially pointed to the spot, awarding a penalty to the hosts. However, after a VAR review, the decision was overturned. The referee ruled that the foul occurred outside the box and awarded a free kick instead of a spot-kick.

Reminder: Real Madrid are going through a difficult period, and rumours suggest Xabi Alonso’s position may be under threat. Guardiola was asked to share his thoughts on his former colleague.
