The Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid witnessed moments of arbitration controversy, after referee Soto Grado won a penalty kick in favor of Atletico Madrid, after Chawini intervened on Samuel Lino inside the penalty area, after reviewing the video technology.

According to a report published by the "Mundo Deportivo" website, the decision angered the fans and players of Real Madrid, as the Santiago Bernabeu stadium exploded with objections, while coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared stunned by the decision.

In an analysis of the case, the former referee and arbitration analyst, Matteo Lahouz, said: "This is unreasonable, this is a change of the laws of the game," expressing his surprise at the intervention of video technology, especially since he believed that the technology would not interfere because the ball was not in playing at the moment of friction.

Despite the objections, Julian Alvarez successfully carried out the penalty kick, giving Atletico Madrid to progress, amid a wave of sharp criticism of the referee's decision.
