Real Madrid lead Celta Vigo 1-0 at half-time in their Copa del Rey last-16 tie, although the score would have been reversed instead if referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero had made a big call immediately before the opening goal scored by Kylian Mbappé.
In the same phase of play that Mbappe found the back of the net, Celta made big claims for a penalty after Williot Swedberg went down under Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin's challenge.
However, no foul was given and that allowed Mbappé to score at the other end. VAR also agreed with Munuera Montero, as no penalty was awarded after control, much to Celta's frustration.
The moment between Swedberg and Lunin was big and it was a big decision not to give Celta a penalty. Should the match end in a Real Madrid victory, there could be plenty of discussions about the incident in the coming days.
