Spanish referees' committee: Mbappe penalty against Santander was incorrect

The Spanish referees' committee has confirmed that the penalty awarded to Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe during the team's 3-0 victory over Racing Santander was not justified.

The technical committee stated that Racing Santander defender Mateo Pratti placed his arm in front of Mbappe without using any force, noting there was no impact that warranted a foul.

The committee described the decision as a clear and obvious error, stressing that VAR should have intervened.

The penalty awarded to Real Madrid led to the team's opening goal in the match.
