In its first season in Spain, the VAR system has apparently already overturned 66 referees’ decisions! Two of these came Saturday’s Madrid derby, Estrada Fernández (him again!) at first ruling that Vinicius had been fouled outside of the area before awarding a penalty, and then eventually cancelling out a strike by Morata for the narrowest of offsides. Needless to say Simeone was not a happy bunny! (12.02.19)
