Real Madrid drew 0-0 with Rayo away, but their television channel is complaining about the decisions of the brigade led by Martínez Munuera.
Real put their “machine gun” back into action. His television station, RMTV, targeted the brigade that had whistled a few hours earlier to Mbappe, Vinicius et comp. against Andrei Rațiu and concluded that this deprived the Madrid players of two penalties!
RMTV: “Neither the referee nor VAR intervened”
The incidents have Rayo Vallecano player Pep Chavarría in the foreground. In the first half, he would have kept Juse Bellingham in the box, so that in the second half, towards the end, he committed a similar crime, in a duel with Kylian Mbappe.
“However, neither the on-field referee nor the VAR team, led by Figueroa Vázquez, intervened“, accuses RMTV, quoted by the newspaper Marca. The club does not understand why Figueroa Vázquez, after watching the footage, did not urge the “central” Martínez Munuera to go to the monitor.

He also considers Bellingham's case particularly serious, as the Englishman was picked with a torn shirt and had to change it. For Real Madrid, it was “a clear and objective incident” that requires, at the very least, a check on what happened on the pitch.
RMTV acknowledges the team's poor run of form, but precisely because of this situation, they consider it even more painful that two refereeing errors deprived them of a win on a bad day, dropping two points that “could be crucial at the end of the season.”
“The feeling within the club is undeniable. The match was bad, but the refereeing – and in particular the inaction of VAR – was decisive. Real Madrid's anger towards the referees remains at an all-time high,” concludes the daily Marca.
