Real Madrid are angry after Kylian Mbappe was left with a bloodied face in the draw with Girona and no penalty was awarded. Reports say the club want access to the VAR audio to understand why the incident was not reviewed differently. Video and match reports showed Mbappe taking contact to the face inside the box, with the referee waving play on and VAR not intervening. Madrid sources have described it as one of the clearest penalty incidents of the season, and the lack of replay on the official broadcast added to the frustration.
