What does it mean? In one program, Laos claimed that Carvajal collided, and in another program, he said it was a natural contact.

When participating in two TV programs, former La Liga referee Raos gave two completely different interpretations of the controversy caused by Carvajal's confrontation with Araujo in the penalty area at the last moment of the El Clasico.

El Clasico left one of the most discussed moves in the game at the last minute. Barcelona drove the ball high into the penalty area, and Carvajal and Araujo had a confrontation in the penalty area. According to the World Sports description, Carvajal ignored the ball and collided with Araujo, causing him to lose his balance and fall in the penalty area. Araujo requested a penalty kick, but the referee did not signal, and VAR subsequently did not review the attack.

The TV footage showed obvious physical contact, which triggered discussion in the media about the referee's penalty. On COPE radio, former referee and commentator Laos initially believed that this action should be awarded a penalty kick. Laos said: "Carvajal took the risk because he pushed the person from behind." In addition, he added that the collision was illegal because it was not a shoulder-to-shoulder contact, and a penalty kick might have been awarded in other games.

However, in the "Post-Game" program broadcast yesterday local time, Laos revised his views. He said the contact was part of a natural scramble. Laos said: "This is a moment in football where the contact between the back and the shoulder is natural and therefore the player was not penalized."

This change in evaluation has reignited discussions about the interpretation of actions in the penalty area, especially those that occur in decisive moments of high-intensity games. The line between a legitimate collision and a push that should be punished remains one of the most difficult elements for referees in current law enforcement.

"World Sports News" referee commentator Cesar Barencia Montero believed in the analysis: "This is an obvious penalty kick, because Carvajal did not want to fight for the ball at all, but to hit the opponent." In his view, the action replay clearly showed that Carvajal did not want to fight for the ball at any time, but focused on pushing Araujo, thus preventing him from completing the goal.
