For di game wey happen on August 30, 2025, Madrid show sey dem sabi play ball. Muriqi first score for Mallorca, but quickly, na Arda Güler and Vinicius Junior come fire two quick goals for dem. Na so di match take turn round, but e no fit last.
Di wahala come as VAR dey replay two goals wey dey do like say dem no count. Two of dem na from Mbappé and one from Güler. As dem show di replay, na so confusion begin – footballer wey dey on side na ‘out’, according to dem camera wey dem take. E no dey easy for dem o; fans no fit believe wetin dem dey see.
Arda Güler score 3rd goal wey go make am 3-1, but VAR come call Sanchez again, tell am say Arda touch di ball with him hand before e score. Di whole stadium come dey burst for jeers! Fans dey shout “No be wetin we see?” (some of dem fit use dem pay no as confirm money).
Coach Xabi Alonso dey vex well well as him talk say: “Na how di referee see am be dat. E be like say we for need dat goal.” Him still talk about di Atletico Madrid match wey get own controversy say: “Dis kind mistakes dey vex me. VAR wey suppose help, why e no fit follow di rules make e correct? ”
But e no finish for dis match. Madrid collect 37 goals from VAR decision wey no count. Na di highest for league; next na Villarreal wey don collect 20, and Sevilla wey don collect 19. Now, Madrid dey vex dem because dem dey notice dis thing dey happen all di time, especially when dem dey compare with Barca who don collect only 14. Na so rivalry dey hot for La Liga!
