After the Spanish championship match between "Alaves" and "Real Madrid," controversial incidents once again became the focus of the football community. The head coach of "Alaves," Eduardo Coudet, did not hide his dissatisfaction regarding a penalty episode that could have influenced the outcome of the game.
In the 88th minute of the match, Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior fell to the ground inside the opponent's penalty area. Real Madrid players and fans demanded a penalty, but the match referee ruled there was no foul. This decision stunned the head coach of "Alaves."
— The situation with Vinicius is completely inexplicable. If he was truly fouled — a penalty should have been awarded. If he simulated — he should have been shown a second yellow card and sent off. But in the end, neither happened. This decision is very hard to accept, — Coudet said during the post-match press conference.
As for the match itself, "Real Madrid" dominated. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring in the 24th minute, while Rodrygo doubled the lead in the 76th minute, securing the team's victory. Carlos Vicente scored for "Alaves" in the 68th minute, attempting to reignite the contest, but it was not enough.
Thus, "Real Madrid" returned home with a 2–1 victory. However, the main discussion after the match wasn’t about the game itself but the controversial incident involving Vinicius. This episode once again highlighted the controversial officiating in La Liga, sparking intense debates.
