Real Madrid s three goals in a game were cancelled, fans are angry: Not the first time

In the third round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Mallorca 2-1 away and temporarily topped the standings. However, the victory was overshadowed by referee Carlos del Cerro Sanchez's controversial law enforcement performance. After the game, Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso, who had always been calm, went directly to the referee on duty, questioned his penalty with anger. The focus of the controversy is that the referee group in this game rejected Real Madrid's three goals through VAR: two of Mbappe's goals were blown up for offside, while one goal by Alda Guerre was judged to be the handball first.

At the beginning of the game, Mallorca took the lead instead, and Muric scored a header in the 16th minute. But Real Madrid quickly launched a counterattack before the end of the first half, with Guerre and Vinicius scoring two goals in the 37th and 38th minutes, helping the team overtake the score. In the second half, the gunpowder smell of the game was further escalated. Referee Sanchez Martinez once again canceled another goal by VAR on the grounds that the ball was suspected to have touched his arm during the attack. This penalty completely angered Real Madrid coaching staff. According to Spanish journalist Jose Padilla, Alonso was still emotional after the game and had a long direct conversation with the referee.

Although the Spanish coach deliberately maintained restraint at the post-match press conference, only emphasizing the team's resilience and performance: "We have shown the fighting spirit and strength needed to reverse." But public opinion outside the court has fermented quickly.

It is rare to have three consecutive goals blown away in one game. However, if you look back at historical data, this is not the first time Real Madrid has encountered a similar penalty.

A fan on social media pointed out: "This is the third time in La Liga history that a team was cancelled by VAR in one game. Guess who is the 'protagonist' of these three times?" He then summed up sarcastically: "Enough, nothing to say, everyone."

The user also added two similar events in the comment section: one was against Elche a few years ago, and the other was the match against Las Palmas at the Bernabeu at home last season - Real Madrid also encountered controversial penalty for multiple goals being cancelled in these two games.
