Zinedine Zidane and Monchi both spoke out about the controversial VAR calls during Saturday's 2-1 win for Real Madrid against Sevilla in La Liga, disagreeing over both decisions.

The video assistant intervened to take away Luuk de Jong's opener for a block inside the box but did nothing when Munir El Haddadi appeared to handle the ball into the path of the Dutchman in the second half.

Per EFE (h/t Sport), Sevilla director Monchi couldn't believe the first goal didn't count, and he said he would have marched his team off the pitch if the second had been disallowed as well:

"It's the type of thing you see all the time, and I refuse to analyse the game after [the disallowed goal] because that moment was key, and it's absurd to try and give any analysis after a goal like that was ruled out.
