Referees' committee explains Romero's use of VAR
The technical referees confirmed that the use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for the Kiti Romero incident during the Madrid derby was to correct the identification of the player who received a yellow card, not to review the possibility of a red card. They clarified that the referee called for the video review due to an error in identifying the player who deserved the yellow card, and that the incident did not warrant a red card. Although former refereeing experts believed that the intervention was worthy of a red card due to excessive force and a threat of injury, the final decision was based on clarifying the player's identity and the purpose of the video review.
