Real Madrid were upset not to be awarded a penalty when 1-0 down against Real Sociedad on Sunday, but goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli has maintained that he touched the ball before he clattered into Vinicius Junior.
The shot-stopper has spoken about the incident and remains confident that a penalty might not have been the outcome even if VAR had been checked.
"It annoys me that so much emphasis is being placed on one incident from 90 minutes," he told Radio MARCA.
"The fact that, from start to finish, we deserved the three points is being forgotten about.
"If we won 2-0 then it's because we did a lot of things better than Real Madrid, in defence and in attack.
"On the pitch I was clear, because I felt that I touched the ball first, before we clashed.
"There is a camera that shows I touched the ball."
Rulli is taking the positives away from the match and trying not to focus on the negatives, especially as this appearance came after being benched for Miguel Angel Moya - who was injured last weekend - earlier in the season.
"Family and friends have congratulated me for the game," he said.
"Of course, these past few days have also been marked by all the controversy, but I'm focussing on the former.
"People have been speaking about a good performance of mine at the Bernabeu and that calms me.
"It means I prepared well for when I had to play."
Now that Moya is fit and healthy again, there is a goalkeeping debate at Real Sociedad and a decision must be made.
They take on Real Betis in the Copa del Rey this Thursday.

if decisions could be reversed madrid would probably be left with 10 Ucl and 1 more point in present laliga table
Even Barca’s 2 ucl would have been cancelled as well Remember uefalona?? Hahaha

What’s funny is that even if he touched the ball it was like the rope of his fingers and that wouldn’t have done much at all. It’s stupid if they think it wasn’t a penalty.

The funny thing is that it was actully Salah who locked arms with Ramos first, and if you do that, well then expect to get the same back.

I guess you forgot that Carvajal also got injured in that game, but no one cares about that because he's not Salah.

I guess you've never play football to know that those thing can happen even if you didn't mean it.

What did Real Madrid do to Salah? He tried to outmuscle Ramos and failed. There was no foul whatsoever. It’s a new calendar year and you people are still salty over something that happened 7 months ago.

this guy is really not serious, he earlier said he had not touched vinicius and is now saying he touched the ball first. I'm a barça fan and while watching the game I thought it was a penalty and ought to be given

Real sociedad played nothing and got away with VAR decisionsz The score was still 1-0 when the penalty was denied and the keeper should have been sent off too because he was the last man so stfu rulli and appreciate var and the referee

it certainly must be true because the real evidence are beginning to come out,,,,,,, if someone heads the ball in any part of the pitch and has contact with his opponent,,,,, the referee blows for recklessness,,,,,,,,, I've no doubt you're supporting because you are a rival...... but I'll tell u what,,,, you're ten points clear from real Madrid,,,, and u donnt need to worry,,,,,,,,, but the truth pays bro,,,, even the league has posted on its website that the refs made a mistake on that,,,,,, but they don't criticize VAR,,,,,, of course even those behind VAR are human,,,,, but I feel bad when something's clean and clear,,, but u guys try to force and fake truth out of it....... am sorry to say this,,,, but Barcelona fans are fun of that.
