During the match, Betis players put pressure on Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Courtois apparently stepped on the Betis striker's foot, causing him to go down in the area. Betis players protested against the controversial move, but neither the referee nor the video assistant referee awarded a penalty or reviewed the move.

Courtois's stampede raised some questions, with experts divided on whether a penalty should have been awarded. But surprisingly, in the previous round of the league, a similar action was ruled a foul.

In Barca's match against Rayo Vallecano, Lewan had scored a goal, but it was eventually ruled out because of a foul by Conte. "World Sport" pointed out that there was little difference in the actions of the two incidents, but the penalty results were seriously inconsistent.
