Last night, Barcelona was able to make it through the finals of the Supercup of Spain.
The Catalans were leading the figures by 1-0 to the 50th minute, when Frankie De Jong touched a ball with the elbow in the area, following the cross of Oyarzabal.
Referee awarded the penalty, and all of this has sparked controversy. In fact, most experts view it as a regular penalty, but the controversy lies in comparison.
The same judge, Jose Luis Munuera, in an almost identical case in a Real Madrid match has not awarded a penalty.
It was the Eibbar-Real Madrid match last December, and Sergio Ramos touched the area with the elbow, but the judge continued the game and refused to look at it at the VAR.
It was 85th and the figures could be 2-2. This particular episode affects Mundo Deportivo, criticising the judge's two-standard judgment.
