According to AS, several controversial decisions in the Madrid derby have sparked intense debate. Internally, Spain's Technical Refereeing Committee (CTA) believes that Lee Kang-in's foul against Valverde should have resulted in a red card, while Heuijsen's red card decision was clearly justified.

The Atlético Madrid versus Real Madrid match left considerable controversy in its wake, and discussions about the disputed decisions during the match are expected to continue for several days. Many have been waiting for the "Review Time" program, hoping the Technical Refereeing Committee (CTA) will provide explanations. However, AS understands that the organization has internally acknowledged that several mistakes occurred during the match. They believe Lee Kang-in should have received a red card, and that Heuijsen's red card following the VAR review was completely justified.

Ortiz Arias failed to make the most of the opportunity given to him by the CTA this Sunday. He was assigned to lead the important derby—the most significant derby in LaLiga—as a reward for his excellent performance last season and this season's start, but the match proved beyond his capabilities. He made wrong decisions on three controversial calls, two of which required VAR intervention. The first incident was initially not about reviewing a red card, but about misidentifying a player. VAR intervened when the Madrid-born referee mistakenly said there was a foul on Bellingham and showed a yellow card, but the video assistant referee helped him realize it was actually Cristian Romero who fouled the Real Madrid player, with red card risk. However, Ortiz Arias ultimately decided against issuing a red card. The CTA backed the referee on this decision, citing the chaotic situation at the time.

Shortly after, a more serious error occurred. Lee Kang-in made a poor tackle against Valverde, which the referee did not call, and VAR did not intervene to review it. The CTA believes this was a red card offense. This was one of the most serious mistakes in the match.

Meanwhile, they also agree that Heuijsen's foul against Giuliano Simeone, which resulted in a penalty for Real Madrid, should have warranted a red card. Ortiz Arias awarded the penalty but did not issue a red card for the offense, despite the Real Madrid player pulling down his opponent and not competing for the ball. This time, VAR did correct the error.
