Real Madrid's victory against Sevilla did not hide the anger of many members of the white team with the current referee. The most discussed play was Lucas Vázquez's disallowed goal. Both Carlo Ancelotti and Lucas Vázquez complained bitterly about the move.
"It is difficult to get used to the VAR coming into all this. The VAR comes to correct obvious errors. It didn't seem that way to me. Nacho may have touched his foot, but also the ball. It is not a problem today, but a general one. since the VAR is in place. For me, the VAR did not have to come in because it was not a clear and obvious error," explained the Italian.
As for the match itself, the Italian coach described the victory as "deserved because the team fought for it. We created many opportunities. We had sacrifice and balance." Furthermore, he congratulated Modric for his "great goal, great control, a great goal. He came in fresh and contributed a goal that is three more points on the table."
Finally, he celebrated the return of Sergio Ramos to the Bernabeu. "He remains in our hearts for what he has done and contributed to this club," he said.
For his part, Lucas Vázquez, author of the disallowed goal, also complained on the microphones of Real Madrid TV. "In many moments of matches, there are difficult moments with the VAR, re-referring plays for no reason and that generates more controversy. We thought that with the VAR the controversy was going to end and there is more controversy. In Spanish football the referees have a great level, but with the VAR everything is getting dirtier," he said.
