As much came upon substitute Vinícius Jr. being floor inside the Rayo penalty area.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has hit out at referee. Juan Martinez Munuera for not awarding a penalty and at VAR for not considering the play he felt Vinicius was clearly kick in the area. While Inigo Perez later admitted his side were lucky not to concede a penalty to Los Blancos. 

‘I don’t want to lie, I thought it was Moomin who kicked [Vinicius]. I always try to be honest and when I saw it Promotion ufabet I said I could blow the whistle. But no, they are delicate moments, especially with VAR you have to be even more careful,’ said the Rayo coach.
