Fuss over Real goal
Marco van Basten rages: “How stupid do you have to be?”
Kylian Mbappe ended Real Madrid's mini crisis with his brace, the Frenchman scoring a penalty to put the Whites 2-0 up on Sunday. The penalty should never have been given, according to Marco van Basten.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Vinicius Junior stormed into the visitors' penalty area with only Betis keeper Rui Silva in front of him. When he brought the Brazilian down, the VAR intervened and, after a brief check, the referee awarded a penalty, which Mbappe converted with ease.
"Never played soccer myself"
A decision that Van Basten did not agree with at all. "Vinicius kicked the goalkeeper's legs himself. He didn't do anything," said the 1992 World Cup winner on Viggo Sport. "How stupid do you have to be as a VAR to decide on a penalty? That's a typical example of a VAR who hasn't played soccer himself. If he had done that, he would have recognized it."
Mbappe, on the other hand, won't care, as the star striker finally scored his first league goal in the fourth game, helping his club to second place in the table - even though they are already four points behind arch-rivals Barcelona.
