Chance? Lenglet’s penalty and Betis’ penalty not whistled

He Classic It is one of the games with the most impact in the world and this Saturday has not been less. An arbitration decision has decided the match: in the struggle to win the position within the area, Clement Lenglet Y Sergio Ramos have grabbed each other and the referee has determined the maximum penalty. The action, inevitably, has reminded a play in the Real Betis-Real Sociedad, from last day.

In a meeting, also very controversial, the judging team decided not to award a penalty after a clear Le Normand’s grip on Antonio Sanabria. The referee decided not to intervene in the play and waited for it to end to hear the opinion of his teammate of the game. VOR room. Despite the fact that the Verdiblanco striker shirt was totally gutted because of the grab, after the review, there was no rectification.

The play we have seen today has been very different. Both the French central Blaugrana and the captain Real Madrid, they were holding on in the noble dispute of a favorable space to finish off the leather. In no case can it be interpreted that the defender is the only one who commits an offense, so the penalty should not have been awarded. Finally, Sergio Ramos would materialize the goal from eleven meters.

The only conclusion we can draw from this comparison is that the arbitration community is not consistent in its decisions. It doesn’t make any sense that the grab Norman was not shown a yellow card and penalty and that, on the other hand, Martinez Munuerto decide, after reviewing the video refereeing, to call an infringement in favor of the merengue team.

FC Barcelona and Real Betis, the most disadvantaged teams

Without wishing to imply any intention to disadvantage both teams, both the culé team As the Betic have been the two clubs most affected by arbitration decisions in the first matches of LaLiga. Perhaps, his tendency to play, for a large part of the game, in the rival field, with a very similar style of play, causes more controversial plays.
