Another angle on Almeria’s handball that leaded to a penalty showing Rudiger’s alleged “foul” on defender.

1. Seems to me that Rudiger is standing still waiting for the cross to come, the defender then comes and invades Rudiger space (Rudiger stays right at the penalty spot the whole time) when he’s already jumping and that’s when he puts his arms on him.

   Yet another call that isn’t nowhere near as scandalous as they made it out to be.

2. The guy backs into Rudiger, Rudi doesn’t hold him down. Hands on the shoulders doesn’t indicate downward force which is what people are complaining about. The defender never even complained of a foul, just moved on.

3. Another ridiculous non existent controversy. Rudiger jumps and doesnt move forward and the defender backs into him. Rudiger doesnt even play the ball here or influence the handball.

4. Jumps straight up, no foul

5. Let’s be honest that whole game was full of bad ref decisions

6. The issue is with Joselu not Rudiger. Him jumping like that with his hands on the Almeria defender body causes him to lose his balance and thus the handball decision in harsh in my opinion. I am glad that we won but that was a wrong decision I think.

7. Who cares. We won

8. Guys, aren’t you tired of this?

   This press in the media seems to be a movement to add pressure to the referee’s against Madrid.

9. No bad decisions were made in that game
