In the 10th round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1 at home. Former referee Barrenechea Montero published an article in World Sports, commenting on the penalty in the El Clasico.

Barrenechea Montero article:

Soto always kept up with the rhythm of the game, but at certain moments it felt like the situation was about to get out of control. His penalties were inconsistent and he made numerous errors of judgment. It should have established authority by decisively stopping the game and punished the endless protests and gestures of dissatisfaction.

VAR correctly suggested that the referee review the penalty kick against Vinicius. The referee subsequently corrected the decision. VAR also accurately canceled Mbappe's goal for offside, and correctly initiated the review again and awarded a penalty kick for Eric Garcia's handball penalty.

At 2-1, the contact between Huizen and Kubasi did not constitute a foul.

During stoppage time, Carvajal's foul on Araujo clearly deserved a penalty kick.

The decision to show Pedri a second yellow card was correct, but the yellow card should have been shown when Pedri fouled Camavinga before. Overall, I am not satisfied with the referee's performance in this game.
