After Real Madrid's 3-1 home victory over Villarreal, former La Liga referee Iturard analyzed several controversial penalty in this game.

Real Madrid's match against Villarreal was controversial. In the 68th minute, Villarreal defender Marin had physical contact with Vinicius in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty kick.

In response, Iturard said: "This is a physical contact action, and the defensive player touched the offensive player with his crotch. According to the penalty standards for similar situations, I think this penalty is a bit too severe. This level of physical contact is not enough to award a penalty. In this case, the referee's judgment is crucial. Everyone's view of this contact may be different, but this is definitely not a situation that requires VAR intervention."

Regarding Villarreal's full-back Santiago Mourinho was pushed by Vinicius. After receiving the second yellow card and being sent off (in the 77th minute), Iturard disagreed with the referee's decision: "This is not a yellow card, he didn't hit the opponent's face at all. You can call a foul, but in my opinion it does not even constitute a foul, let alone a threatening offensive opportunity. And since this is his second yellow card, VAR cannot intervene."

The final stage of the game, Rodrigo fell in the penalty area, and Iturard believed that this action "should be punished more than the foul against Vinicius."
