Red Card or Not? Martín's 'Killer' Tackle Given Red, Then Overturned by VAR (Video)

A highly controversial decision marred the La Liga derby between Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, sparking intense debate.

In the 46th minute of the match, Atlético's Martín committed an extremely harsh tackle on Almada, with referee Busquets initially showing him a straight red card.

However, the incident was reviewed by VAR, which prompted the referee to re-examine his decision on the monitor. To everyone's surprise, Busquets, after re-watching the replay, rescinded the red card, downgrading it to a yellow. This development raised questions about the criteria behind the decision.
