Real Madrid faces Celta Vigo at home in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, and a controversial moment occurred late in the first half.
Details: Striker Williot Swedberg broke through one-on-one with goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, flicked the ball ahead, and was brought down by the Ukrainian keeper.
However, the referee did not whistle for a foul, and Real Madrid launched a counterattack that ended with Kylian Mbappé scoring the opening goal of the match.
According to analysis from Archivo VAR, the referees should have canceled Real Madrid’s goal and awarded a penalty for the incident.
Reminder: Earlier today, it was reported that former Real Madrid defender Fábio Coentrão was caught involved in seafood smuggling.
