CTA rules out punishment for Real Madrid's Arda Guler incident

The Spanish Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) has clarified that no disciplinary action will be taken against Real Madrid's Arda Guler for an incident during the match against Sevilla. The incident, linked to an alleged elbow strike during the first half, remains unresolved due to the lack of clear visual evidence from the broadcast footage. Despite 23 camera angles used, none provided detailed enough footage to determine the nature of the contact. The CTA emphasized that without conclusive evidence, VAR cannot intervene, aligning with their findings that the incident was not observed directly by the referee and lacked adequate camera focus.
