Spain's officiating authority has confirmed that referees made the correct call when they ruled Kylian Mbappé's missed penalty would not be retaken during Real Madrid's 1-0 defeat to Real Betis. The announcement came on Tuesday.

The governing body responsible for overseeing Spanish match officials stood firmly behind the on-field decision, offering no grounds for Real Madrid to contest the ruling. The penalty miss itself proved costly, as the match ended in a narrow loss for the visiting side.
