In a tense Madrid derby at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid battled to a 1-1 draw, but the match was dominated by controversy over a penalty decision that left Los Blancos and their fans outraged.

 

The flashpoint came in the first half when Aurélien Tchouaméni was deemed to have fouled Samu Lino inside the box. After a VAR review, referee César Soto Grado awarded Atlético a penalty, which Julián Álvarez converted to give the visitors an early advantage.

 

Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, voiced his frustration in the post-match press conference, questioning the decision and implying that the call would have been different had the roles been reversed.

 

This controversy comes at a crucial moment, just days after Real Madrid filed an official complaint against La Liga referees over what they claim to be unfair officiating in previous fixtures. The latest decision has only fueled the club’s concerns, with supporters and analysts condemning what they see as a “distortion of the rules.”

 

Despite the setback, Real Madrid responded in the second half, with Kylian Mbappé finding the equalizer. However, the contentious penalty remained the main talking point, overshadowing both the performance and the derby’s result.

 

The draw keeps Real Madrid atop the La Liga standings with 50 points, just ahead of Atlético Madrid on 49. The fallout from this decision is set to spark further debate about the standard of refereeing in Spanish football.
