The Spanish refereeing technical committee has acknowledged a significant refereeing error during the match between Real Madrid and Racing Santander in the eleventh round of La Liga. The committee confirmed that the penalty awarded to Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid's forward, was incorrect, as the contact between Mbappé and defender Mateo Brati did not justify a penalty. In their analysis on the program "Review Time," the committee explained that Brati placed his arm in front of Mbappé without applying any force, which does not justify the forward's fall inside the penalty area. The committee added that the absence of a causal relationship between the contact and the fall confirms the lack of a penalty, considering the referee made a clear error and that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) should have intervened. The decision sparked significant protests from Racing Santander players during the match before the refereeing technical committee confirmed the penalty was wrongly awarded.
