VAR officials failed to notice that Kylian Mbappe was bleeding during a highly controversial moment in Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Girona.
The incident occurred in the final minutes of the match, when the French striker was tackled inside the area, prompting Real Madrid players to call for a penalty. However, the referee allowed play to continue and VAR did not intervene.
According to reports, VAR officials reviewed the action without clearly seeing the full contact. Also, the fact that Mbappe was bleeding was not noticed during the check, but only after the match through footage that circulated on social media.
It is reported that none of the cameras in the stadium were able to clearly capture the moment of the injury in real time, leaving the referees without an important detail for decision-making.
This situation has once again raised questions about the effectiveness of VAR, especially regarding camera angles and the quality of review of decisive cases.
Meanwhile, there is great disappointment in the Real Madrid camp, as they lost important points in a very strong title race.
