Vinicius Junior gave Madrid the lead in the 70th minute, and 10 minutes later, the visitors were given a penalty.
It was determined that Marco Asensio handled the ball inside the box.
For a foul on goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga, Rodrygo had a goal disallowed, while Cristhian Stuani successfully scored the penalty.
Madrid now only leads Barcelona by one point at the top of the standings after the draw.
The first situation is rather obvious. Asensio didn’t make any physical contact with the ball. I talked with him. He gave it a chest touch.
“His left hand was in an odd posture, and if he touched the ball with it, there would be some question,” said the referee. He didn’t, though. They created it, according to Ancelotti.
The draw follows Madrid’s first loss of the year, a 3-2 Champions League loss away at RB Leipzig in midweek.
