Should Barcelona have had a penalty for foul on Lamine Yamal against Rayo?

"It's a penalty, he swung his leg. It's one thing for Pathé Ciss to be standing still, but he swung his leg. I understand it's a close call for VAR to intervene."

"What the referee can't do is make him get up because there's contact, and if he tells him to get up, it's a card."

During a La Liga match, Lamine Yamal appealed for a penalty after a foul by Pathe Ciss, but the referee did not award it. VAR supported the referee's decision. Although Ciss made contact, it was deemed insufficient for a penalty. Former referee Iturralde González stated that it should have been a penalty, emphasizing that the referee's decision was critical in such close calls. The incident sparked debate over the appropriateness of the no-call.
