Real Madrid beat Sevilla 4–1 on Sunday, but the result was overshadowed by Arda Güler escaping a red card after an elbow on Peque Fernandez.
- Güler escaped a red card after a three-minute VAR review found no clear angle on his first-half elbow on Peque Fernandez, with the match still goalless.
- Güler scored the opener minutes later, and Real Madrid's win left them third on 21 points, six behind Barcelona ahead of the Clásico.
- Sevilla coach Luis Garcia Plaza said his team was "denied the chance to play another game, 11 against 10" and called the incident a clear red card.
- Mourinho said he had seen no images of the incident and did not understand the "obsession" with it.
