VAR audio explains why Tchouameni's penalty is overturned against Racing

Aurelien Tchouameni of Real Madrid had a penalty overturned in the 71st minute during the match against Racing Santander. The referee, Jose Luis Munuera Montero, initially awarded the penalty for handball but reversed his decision after reviewing the VAR footage. The VAR team explained that Tchouameni had deliberately played the ball before it struck his hand, classifying it as a 'play-in-play.' The reversal provoked significant frustration among Racing supporters, especially after Real Madrid had previously been awarded a penalty that Kylian Mbappe converted. The match continues at El Sardinero.
