    Mbappé's Penalty Against Betis Should Not Be Retaken, Rules Spanish Referees

    The Spanish Technical Committee of Referees has ruled that Kylian Mbappé's penalty against Real Betis should not be retaken, despite initial calls for a retake. The committee explained that at the moment Mbappé took the shot, Betis defender Marc Bartra was still in the air and had not yet touched the ground inside the penalty area with either foot. Therefore, according to the current refereeing criterion, Bartra had not illegally entered the area, and thus, there was no foul. This decision was supported by former referee Iturralde González, who confirmed that the law's text does not clearly align with retaking the penalty in this instance.

These laws include closing loopholes for draft dodgers, changes in deferments, and expanding the pool of potential conscripts. Despite these preparations, authorities continue to deny any plans for mobilization.
