Referees and La Liga explain missing VAR review of Güler challenge in Madrid win

Refereeing bodies and La Liga have justified the absence of a VAR review of Arda Güler's challenge in Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Sevilla.

• Real Madrid beat Sevilla 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, a win overshadowed by Güler's 24th-minute challenge on Peque going unreviewed.
• The referees' committee said VAR did not intervene because no footage from the match cameras offered clear evidence of violent conduct.
• La Liga denied hiding any broadcast replays, stating cameras followed the attack rather than the incident elsewhere on the pitch.
• Sevilla coach Luis García Plaza said the officiating "deprived us of playing another match," as the club's social accounts mocked Madrid over the decisions.
