Mbappé, bloodied head! Arbeloa furious: Penalty here and on the moon
Real Madrid could do no better than a draw against Girona, but there was one incident that sent Alvaro Arbeloa into a rage.

In the 88th minute, Mbappé burst into the opposition box and went to ground after contact with Vitor Reis. The Girona player's arm was quite wide and ended up striking the French superstar in the face, while also catching him with his left leg.
The penalty looked more than obvious, but not to the referee, who waved play on, nor to the VAR room, which did not call the official over for an on-field review.
Meanwhile, the doctors treated Mbappé, whose right eyebrow had been split open and was bleeding, as Real Madrid protested furiously. To no avail. VAR did not intervene and the incident was effectively brushed aside.
After the match, Arbeloa could not contain his fury and did not hold back: "The foul on Mbappé was a clear penalty: here and on the moon! Why didn’t VAR intervene? This is where we are, another week where people will talk about this, always the same things".
After this draw, Barcelona now have a huge chance to go nine points clear if they beat Espanyol today in the Catalan derby. The coach, however, has not given up hope, quite the opposite: "We will fight until the last day, it will end when the math says so. We are Real Madrid".
