According to Mundo Deportivo, the technical committee of referees believes that Bártara did not illegally enter the penalty area before Mbappé took the penalty, and therefore the decision not to order a retake was correct.

Hours later, the most debated moment from La Cartuja remained Mbappé's penalty. After Vinícius Jr. was awarded the penalty, Bártara successfully saved it, becoming the hero of the night. The VAR room, staffed by Javier Iglesias Villanueva, did not request a retake. Although there were questions about whether Bártara, the defender for Real Betis Balompié, entered the penalty area before Mbappé shot—potentially affecting the rebound attempt by the French striker—the refereeing team determined this did not meet the criteria for a retake.

Mundo Deportivo understands that the technical committee fully agreed with the decision not to order a retake. According to the rules of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) and the referee's guidelines issued by the technical committee this season, a penalty should be retaken only if the goalkeeper's teammate clearly influences the shooter by entering the penalty area prematurely, or if the player who entered prematurely touches the ball, fouls an opponent, prevents an opponent from scoring, attempts to score, or creates a scoring opportunity.

IFAB also stipulates that when a player is in the air at the moment of the restart, such as during a penalty kick, their position should be determined by their anticipated position after both feet touch the ground. This rule applies only when the player is completely airborne.

The technical committee's referee guidelines also clarify that if a defending player enters the penalty area prematurely, it is an offense that can be corrected only if their action clearly affects the shooter, or if they touch the ball, foul an opponent, or prevent, attempt, or create a scoring opportunity. The guidelines further specify that a player's position at the restart is determined by their feet or the part of their body in contact with the ground, with offside being the exception. If a player is airborne, their position is determined by their anticipated position after their feet touch the ground.

This is precisely what occurred at La Cartuja. Mundo Deportivo understands that when Mbappé shot, Bártara did not have both feet in the penalty area. He had one foot inside and one foot outside, and his position corresponded consistently with the anticipated body position. If Bártara's anticipated position for both feet was inside the penalty area, play should have been stopped for a retake, as this would constitute the defending player attempting to gain an unfair advantage.

Therefore, referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández, alerted by Iglesias Villanueva in the VAR room, decided not to order a penalty retake, and the technical committee of referees determined this decision was correct.
