It&#8217;s unclear what the referee saw as a handball.

Eduardo Camavinga, a Madrid midfielder, escaped an obvious second yellow card after a clumsy tackle on Anthony Martial.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/f14a17600fe846cc9ea9f79ef1f023e5\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw it live and it didn&#8217;t look like it touched his hand,&#8221; Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti remarked of the handball incident. It&#8217;s just not making sense to me. It&#8217;s difficult to judge these situations, but&#8230; this move seemed fairly obvious to me. We appeared to be a fatigued squad in the first half, but the intensity in the second half was incredible. You can&#8217;t always put your finger on these things in football. I&#8217;m particularly perplexed by the interpretations of Diego Carlos&#8217; and Vincius&#8217; handballs.&#8221;\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/40b1c91f37b84ca1a29295c024d53422\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;These are things that only Real Madrid can do.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Madrid presently has a 15-point lead over Sevilla, Barcelona (who have two games in hand), and Atl\u00e9tico Madrid (60 points).<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: KingtsugiNews (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
