Referee exchanges with VAR s audio of Joan Armeni s handball, fans: Royal referee

Early this morning, Real Madrid lost 3-4 to Barcelona in the 35th round of La Liga. The referee's multiple penalty in the game caused controversy, and the biggest controversial penalty was a penalty in which Real Madrid player Joan Améni was ignored in the penalty area. Although through slow-motion replay, we can clearly see Joan Améni's handball undoubtedly, the referee replied after looking back at VAR and announced that Joan Améni did not commit a foul. How did the referee determine that Joan Améni's handball was not a foul? Shortly after the game, the audio of the referee communicating with VAR Joan Améni's handball was exposed, which sparked heated discussion. Let's see what's going on.

From the audio, we learned that when the referee communicated with VAR, he said, "I think the arm is sagging, this is not a penalty kick."

It can be seen that the referee's judgment is that Joan Améni's hand is sagging, not a intentional handball. And at such a close distance, Joan Améni could not avoid it. It can be said that the ball was actively hitting Joan Améni's arm, which belongs to the ball hitter, not touching the ball with his hands or touching the ball with his hands.

Fan 1 said: This is the case with the Royal referee, what else can he say.

Fan 2 said: VARs are so blatantly controlled. You can imagine how dark it was when there was no VAR before. No wonder Guardiola was tired and stayed away from La Liga.

Fan 3 said: This kind of behavior that is visible to the naked eye is chosen to turn a blind eye. The hair-level falsehood of the little Spider touching the ball twice, but the decisive judgment is really unbelievable.

Fan 4 said: I am a Real Madrid fan and I personally think I should be awarded a penalty.

Fan 5 said: You must score without blocking. This is not a penalty kick, so there is no saying of handball in the penalty area.
