Another leaked VAR audio from Real Madrid’s win over Almeria revealed

The recent Real Madrid vs Almería football clash has become a talking point, with leaked audio conversations from relevo shedding light on contentious decisions made by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

These revelations are not only fueling debates but also prompting questions about the transparency and effectiveness of football officiating.

The leaked audio, purportedly between VAR official Hernández Hernández and on-field referee Hernández Maeso, zeroes in on a collision between Ceballos and Chumi.

The VAR determined the incident lacked aggression, resulting in no intervention. Hernández Hernández’s words, “Continue, continue, continue… Number 21 stands in front of Ceballos to prevent him from advancing.

No elbow, no arm, nothing,” clashed with Maeso’s simpler statement, “I haven’t seen anything; he has already gotten up.”

This revelation follows a previous leak regarding an alleged aggression by Vinicius towards Pozo, adding more fuel to the ongoing crisis within the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA).

The leaks are raising eyebrows about the privacy and security of audio recordings, exposing vulnerabilities in the referee system.

Despite a VAR review, the potential aggression by Vinicius against Pozo resulted in no consequences. The audio dialogue hints that it was seen as a mere struggle, falling short of warranting a red card.

The leaked audio clips also highlight potential errors in decision-making. The absence of a review for a possible handball goal and concerns about the impartiality of the VAR official are key points in the discussions.

Critics argue that these leaks have exposed a lack of security and control over private conversations within the CTA. Gerard Romero’s invitation to Iturralde González for audio analysis reflects a growing demand for transparency and accountability in football officiating.

In the midst of these controversies, both fans and pundits are questioning the efficacy of the VAR system and calling for improvements in its implementation.

The revelations are sparking discussions about the need for a more robust and secure officiating system to ensure fairness and uphold the integrity of football matches. As the debates continue, the spotlight remains firmly on the evolving landscape of refereeing in the sport.
