Controversial VAR Decisions Mar Real Madrid's Comeback Victory Over Almeria

Outrage ensues as Almeria claims 'the game was stolen from us' in a match that adds to ongoing refereeing controversies in Spanish football.

Real Madrid won a controversial match against last-place Almeria 3-2, with three VAR decisions going in Madrid's favor.
Almeria players and staff, as well as other sectors of Spanish football, expressed outrage over the perceived bias in the refereeing.
Almeria had initially led the game 2-0, but Madrid came back after a penalty was awarded for a handball, an Almeria goal was disallowed for a foul, and a goal by Vinícius Júnior was allowed after initially being ruled out for handball.
Almeria's coach, Gaizka Garitano, was sent off for his protests, and the team's players voiced their frustrations after the game, with captain Gonzalo Melero stating 'the game was stolen from us.'
The controversy adds to ongoing discussions about refereeing in Spanish football, with allegations of corruption and bias in the past.
