Sergio Ramos Slams VAR, Referee After Real Madrid's Loss to Real Sociedad

Sergio Ramos hit out at referee Jose Munuera and the video assistant referee (VAR) system following Real Madrid's 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad on Sunday, asking for "fairness" after two crucial decisions went against Los Blancos.

The hosts were denied a penalty and lost winger Lucas Vazquez to a red card, and Ramos said both decisions should have been handled better, per Goal's Sacha Pisani:

"The referee played a big role in things. I've always defended the VAR system, but it has to be improved because what we've seen was scandalous.

"He could have awarded the penalty and then consulted the VAR.
