Was it criminal? Gavi claimed Alaba’s hand inside the Real Madrid area | VIDEO

In the match between Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, valid for the semifinal second leg of the Copa del Rey 2023, at the Spotify Camp Nou, Gavi claimed a penalty for an alleged handball by David Alaba inside the merengue area.

The Barca footballer wanted to send a low cross, but the ball ended up hitting the supporting arm/hand that the Real Madrid player had when it swept. The Spaniard immediately requested a penalty, but the judge said that it was not punishable.

First controversy of the party!

???? Was it criminal? The referee, Martínez Munuera, said no.
