Referee and VAR Drama: Almeria Feels 'Not Allowed to Win' Against Real Madrid

Almeria expressed frustration, claiming they were “not allowed to win” due to contentious VAR decisions in their defeat against Real Madrid. Despite leading 2-0 at halftime, Almeria lost 3-2 after Madrid’s comeback. The referee and VAR decisions led Almeria to state on their official website that their day was “ruined.”

Defender Marc Pubill suggested someone decided they couldn’t win at Bernabeu. Controversial moments included a debated penalty for Bellingham and a VAR ruling out Almeria’s apparent third goal. Madrid eventually secured the win in the 10th minute of added time through Dani Carvajal, leaving Almeria disappointed.
