Raos: Medina s arm is placed in a natural position, which should never be awarded a penalty

September 17th After Real Madrid's first round of Champions League victory over Marseille 2-1 at home, former Spanish referee Raos talked about Medina's controversial handball in the penalty area in an interview with Movistar.

Raos said: "I think the defender did what he should do, he blocked the ball with his feet and his arms were just swinging naturally. This is an arm in a natural position, and for me it should never be awarded a penalty. It's very clear and obvious, because otherwise, the players would suffer more injuries if they didn't support their arms when they fell."

"Their scramble was mainly under the feet, and by chance, unexpectedly, the ball ended up hitting his arm, and it was during his fall. So, for me, this penalty shouldn't be there at all, and that's what it means to me. It is the reason why I said the referee's performance was unpredictable. "

In addition to criticizing the referee's performance on penalty kicks, Raos also analyzed what he believed was the inconsistency of VAR use in Real Madrid against Marseille: "Why is the referee's performance unpredictable? Because you have to use VAR in the game, as I said before, using slow motion and photos. "

" You have to use it in all situations, and then we saw some movements, such as Mbappe's movements, and Kavajal's movements, and finally this handball."
