Morientes: The collision between Vinicius and the goalkeeper was purely accidental. I have experienced this countless times

November 25th: Former Real Madrid player Morientes participated in the Spanish Football Association's controversial penalty review committee to explain controversial penalties every weekend.

Last weekend, Real Madrid struggled to score a point in Elche's away game with Bellingham's 87th-minute goal. However, the goal sparked controversy as the Elche club believed Vinicius had fouled Inaki Peña before the goal.

After the game, Elche head coach Edel Sarabia said: "This is an obvious foul against Iñaki Peña. VAR is used to check this kind of foul, because he was hit in the nose."

This season, the Spanish Football Association launched the "Review Time" project, which aims to explain controversial penalties in each round to clarify whether the referee's decision is correct. Morientes was one of the consultants who recommended that the controversial penalty be sent to the technical committee. Fernando Morientes, a former Real Madrid player and now a commentator for "Tiempode Juego" and "El Partidazo de COPE", discussed with Juanma Castano last night that Vinicius's action will not enter "review time."

He said: "We have unanimously selected a few videos, and this happened in the last minute of the last game. We also agreed that this was a completely accidental move, and it is not just me who thinks so. I have proven that I am not biased about these things. To Real Madrid."

Morientes added: "At the time I thought it was a normal collision between the striker and the goalkeeper."

He recalled that Ignaki Peña initially admitted that it was just a normal contact in the game, but later changed his story.

Morientes further said: "I put myself in the forward position. I have experienced this countless times. I have been bleeding from the opponent's elbow or shoulder hitting the head, and goalkeepers often encounter this situation because they are usually low."
