This Saturday evening's clash between Celta Vigo and Real Madrid will be remembered as one of the most controversial matches in LaLiga Santander in some time.
Real Madrid were awarded three penalties by referee Pablo Gonzalez Fuentes, while Celta had a Thiago Galhardo goal disallowed just before the half-time break.
In this article, we will look at the controversial moments during Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid.
Nolito's foul on Militao
The first debatable moment that occurred at Balaidos occurred in the 18th minute, when Eder Militao was brought down from behind by Nolito. Alfonso Perez Burrul, Radio MARCA's resident refereeing expert, confirmed that Gonzalez Fuertes made the right decision.
Galhardo's disallowed goal
Celta thought they had grabbed an equaliser in the 39th minute when Galhardo's header hit the post and spun across the line before going in. However, Iago Aspas began in an offside position as he tried to shield the ball away from David Alaba, which led to VAR ruling out the goal.
Murillo's foul on Rodrygo
Rodrygo Goes was tripped by the trailing leg of Jeison Murillo in the 64th minute, which led to Real Madrid receiving their second penalty of the game.
Kevin's foul on Mendy
Four minutes later, in the 68th minute, Kevin Vazquez made contact with Ferland Mendy as the French left-back cut back inside in the area. It was deemed to be light by many, with a penalty being awarded - Real Madrid's third of the game.
