Mapi León requests VAR after receiving an elbow against Atlético

Mapi León went to social networks to make a claim again that is not new in women's football. The Barça player complained that there is no VAR in the competition the day she received an elbow from a rival during the match against Atlético de Madrid.

The demand is not new and many players have been calling for it for a long time, although at the moment its implementation is not planned.

Mapi León's complaint, in this case, arises after receiving an elbow from an Atlético de Madrid player, who jumped with her arm extended, while taking a corner. The Barça centre-back jumped and hit her rival's elbow.

The blow was quite strong and blood was soon visible all over the Barça player's face. The Barça doctors had to apply several stitches to stop the bleeding and close the wound.

Aitana Bonmatí also complained on her social networks about an unreported penalty after receiving what looks like a judo key.
