AS: Bellingham was tripped and the penalty was not awarded, and there were irregularities in Rayo Vallecano’s home dimensions

November 10th After Rayo Vallecano's 0-0 home draw with Real Madrid, "AS" talked about the controversial penalties and possible violations in the game.

In this game, a controversial scene occurred in the 23rd minute. At that time, Vinicius received a pass and shot, which was then cleared by goalkeeper Battaglia. Before this moment, Chavarria tripped Bellingham, preventing him from competing for the shooting opportunity.

According to Iturralde, this was a penalty kick: "The rules do not mention pulling, but rather say that if a player is blocked and this blocking slows down his movement, thereby preventing him from completing the shot, then this should be a penalty kick. Chavarria pulled Bellingham and pulled He pushed back. It was a penalty. And VAR did not intervene, it should not just watch the game."

On the other hand, the commentators on the SER Radio Sports program mentioned that the size of the pitch seemed to be the same as last Thursday's UEFA Champions League match against Lech Poznan. Rayo Vallecano will have to reduce the size of the pitch in European competitions to meet UEFA's minimum distance requirements between the stands and the pitch.

If this is true, according to Article 228, Paragraph 2, of the Spanish Football Association Rules, which stipulates that "during the entire season, it is prohibited to change the dimensions of the playing field declared at the beginning of the season," the game may be invalid.
