Andujar Oliver: Real Madrid should have had a penalty for a clear tug on Varane El Clasico Under the challenge of Rakitic

Real Madrid felt they could have been awarded a penalty in the 18th minute of El Clasico and MARCA's refereeing expert Andujar Oliver agrees.

Ivan Rakitic challenged Raphael Varane and Oliver thinks there was enough for a spot kick to have been awarded.

"There is a tug from Rakitic on Varane," he said on Radio MARCA.

"The tug is clear.

"In VAR, that's a penalty, a very clear penalty.

"Where was VAR?"

Before that, Varane was also in the wars with Clement Lenglet, but there wasn't enough for a penalty in that instance.

"The Barcelona player goes with his studs, but it doesn't feel like there was any reason for the referee to give a penalty for that," Oliver said.
