Overview
- Real Madrid TV said the club is compiling incidents from the first four league matches and last season into a report it intends to submit to FIFA.
- The announcement came after referee Jesús Gil Manzano sent off Dean Huijsen against Real Sociedad and the VAR did not call a review under the guideline to avoid interpretative plays.
- Xabi Alonso questioned the red card decision postmatch, calling it a clear error that warranted VAR intervention, as Real Madrid finished a 1-2 win with 10 men.
- The CTA recently acknowledged two early-season mistakes that allowed goals by Barcelona in Mallorca and Atlético in Vitoria, while defending the annulment of Arda Güler’s goal under the handball immediacy rule.
- Real Madrid’s channel reviewed prior decisions by Gil Manzano and VAR official Jorge Figueroa Vázquez and used sharply critical language while disclosing the planned FIFA submission.
