Referee Juan Martinez Munuera was at the centre of Sunday night's most controversial moment as he awarded Sevilla a penalty with just over 10 minutes to go.
Real Madrid thought they had earned a spot-kick when Karim Benzema was brought down by Bono before Martinez Munuera reviewed a handball incident by Eder Militao in the opposite penalty area just moments before.
After looking at the replays of the incident on the pitchside monitor, the referee gave Sevilla a penalty, which Ivan Rakitic scored.
"The ball first hits Militao's shoulder, then his arm," Juan Andujar Oliver, MARCA's resident referee expert, told Radio MARCA.
"It's completely accidental.
"For me, it's not enough to give a penalty.
"The play should've continued and ended with a clear penalty from Bono on Benzema."

Juan Andujar or what do they call, you are always partial in every of your judgement. God just saved Sevilla today, because had it been that Benzima scored the goal instead falling down ,and Real Madrid were demanding for penalty for the foul on Benzema, forgetting that Militao committed penalty in the building up leading to Benzema falling, people like you will allow the goal to stand. I even suspected that even the referee that handled the match wanted to allow Benzema to score. But because Real Madrid was demanding for penalty, and the referee knew that the whole world is watching, and he knew that he can't award penalty to Real Madrid , without going back to the build up to Benzema where Militao handled the ball with his hand. That was why he awarded penalty in favour of Sevilla
