Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui believes Cristiano Ronaldo would not have seen red against Valencia with VAR.
Juventus’ 2-0 win at Valencia in the Champions League was marred by Ronaldo’s controversial dismissal for pulling Jeison Murillo’s hair, and Lopetegui – who would have coached the No 7 had he not left Madrid over the summer – joined in on the criticism.
“I didn’t see it very well, but everyone’s told me it wasn’t one,” he said at a Press conference.

“Sometimes these mistakes happen, but the VAR helps so they don’t. If it wasn’t as it seemed… but it’s not up to me to talk about that.”
