Real Madrid missed the opportunity to go to the top of the LaLiga Santander table by stuttering to a 0-0 draw with Real Betis, however after a penalty claim in the 82nd minute, MARCA's referee expert, Juan Andujar Oliver, confirmed that the right decision was to not award a spot-kick.
With the hosts in search of a winning goal that would have seen Los Merengues take advantage of poor results from both Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, Karim Benzema thought Zou Feddal had committed a handball when he cut a cross back across the penalty area.
The referee on the pitch determined that it wasn't a penalty, and this sentiment was echoed by Andujar Oliver.
"You can't judge that to be a penalty," Andujar Oliver stated on Radio MARCA.
"His hand is in a natural position.
"The contact was involuntary and he didn't gain an advantage."

VAR denies other teams and favors other teams. FIFA is acting like blind eyes. They have seen everything but they don't take disciplinary action. Referee and his VAR team should be suspended!

Natural or not it changed the direction of the ball and denied a goalscoring opportunity... Also natural position is when a player stands still, slide tackle isnt a natural position

VAR is bullshit. First disallowing Firmino’s goal bcuz his armpit was in an offside position and now this handball. The rules say that even if the handball is unintentional but the arm is outside and making the body look bigger, the penalty is given. Ex: Kimpembe handball vs Man Utd. His arm was sticking out and making his body look bigger. VAR IS BULLSHIT. VAR was supposed to remove all controversy but now it is causing controversy even when the technology is so advanced. #VAROUT
