Kylian Mbappe was brought down on six minutes following a collision with Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo, however, the referee dismissed the penalty appeal.

Perez Burull later told Radio Marca: "Maffeo endures the race with the Real Madrid forward and the charge is legal, Mbappé's fall is not a product of a knockdown by the defender.

"It was well sanctioned. The tackle cannot be considered reckless, hence the Riojan (César Soto Grado) was right in his decision."
