Only three matchdays have been played, and La Liga has already accumulated a string of refereeing controversies. The list is extensive: Ferran Torres' goal against Mallorca with an opponent lying on the ground, Balde's handball at the Ciudad de Valencia, the penalty on Mbappé at the Bernabéu, Arda Güler's handball, the penalty on Lamine Yamal in Vallecas, or the goal awarded to Giuliano Simeone even though the offside player was in VAR's position in 2018. This has fallen like a bombshell within the Spanish Federation, which sees how the changes implemented to the Technical Committee of Referees before the start of this season are not yielding the expected results.
