Real Madrid could finally receive clarity over the controversial decision involving Kylian Mbappe after their 1-1 draw against Girona.<\/p>\n

According to Juanfe Sanz via El Chiringuito TV<\/a>, the Referees\u2019 Technical Committee (CTA) are set to hold a meeting to review the incident that has sparked widespread debate.<\/p>\n

As per the journalist, while there is no unanimous agreement yet, early indications suggest the decision could swing in Real Madrid\u2019s favour, with a growing belief that the play may be judged as a penalty.<\/p>\n

What happened to Mbappe?<\/p>\n

The controversy stems from a late moment in the match at the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n

In the 89th minute, Mbappe drove into the penalty area from the right flank before being caught by an elbow from Vitor Reis.<\/p>\n

The contact left the forward with a deep cut<\/a> above his right eyebrow, causing immediate and heavy bleeding.<\/p>\n

Despite the severity of the impact, the match referee chose not to award a foul.<\/p>\n

VAR also opted against intervention<\/a>, allowing play to continue in a decision that frustrated both players and supporters inside the stadium.<\/p>\n

The situation escalated after the match, when it was confirmed that Mbappe required a minor medical procedure to treat the wound.<\/p>\n

The images that emerged only intensified the debate, raising further questions about how the incident was assessed in real time.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa was visibly unhappy with the outcome<\/a>, viewing it as a decisive moment that could have changed the result.<\/p>\n

Now, attention shifts to the CTA\u2019s review.<\/p>\n

The committee is expected to analyse the sequence in detail and, as per the report, there is a strong possibility they will acknowledge that a mistake was made in not awarding a foul, and potentially a penalty.<\/p>\n

For Real Madrid, the outcome of this review may not change the result, but it could validate their complaints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Real Madrid could finally receive clarity over the controversial decision involving Kylian Mbappe after their 1-1 draw against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2304,84,557,82,2306,83,2305,1178],"class_list":{"0":"post-3195","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-madrid","8":"tag-cta","9":"tag-girona","10":"tag-kylian-mbappe","11":"tag-madrid","12":"tag-penalty-area","13":"tag-real-madrid","14":"tag-referees-technical-committee","15":"tag-vitor-reis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
