During Real Madrid's 0-1 away defeat to Real Betis, Mbappé's penalty in added time was saved. Real Madrid's official television channel, RMTV, heavily questioned this decision after the match, arguing that Bartra had entered the penalty area prematurely and participated in the subsequent play, meaning the penalty should have been retaken.

In this match between Betis and Real Madrid, Mbappé's missed penalty in added time became one of the most controversial decisions in the early stages of the new La Liga season. Minutes before this crucial moment, a goal by Real Madrid's young player Carlos Espi had already been disallowed. Then, in the 94th minute, Betis's goalkeeper saved Mbappé's penalty, but Real Madrid players immediately protested, arguing that a Betis player had already entered the penalty area prematurely before Mbappé took the shot.

After deliberation, the referee did not order the penalty to be retaken, and the match ended with a 1-0 victory for Betis. This decision also sparked controversy, with Real Madrid's official television channel, RMTV, focusing on the referee's decision after the match.

Real Madrid TV believes that when Mbappé took the penalty, Betis defender Marc Bartra's right foot was already on the penalty area line, and he then entered the penalty area and directly participated in the subsequent play. RMTV also mentioned Bellerín, suggesting that he had also placed a foot on the penalty area line at that moment.

Real Madrid TV was highly dissatisfied with the referee's handling and, in light of the rules, described this decision as "inconsistent application of the rules by the referee."

RMTV stated: "What surprises us is that a referee does not understand the rules he is applying. This is a technical error. Whether through negligence or incompetence, this infraction was not called."

The referee determined that Marc Bartra was not on the penalty area line at that moment. However, Real Madrid TV maintained that even if Bartra had not crossed the line, he still entered the penalty area prematurely and ultimately participated in the play. Furthermore, RMTV also criticized VAR referee Iglesias Villanueva for failing to alert referee Hernández to this situation and for not having the penalty retaken, as the final decision should be made by the referee. Regarding this controversial decision, Real Madrid TV's position is clear: "This penalty should have been retaken."
