If fans expect the handball furore stirring up the Premier League to calm down, then —judging by La Liga — they should think again.

The new rules in force this season in England were introduced in Spain at the start of last season and it has been chaos ever since. 

By March last season in La Liga, more penalties had been awarded for handball than in the entire previous campaign.

The increase meant that the head of the referees’ technical committee, Carlos Velasco Carballo, had to try to clarify things. 

But his comments underlined the confusion for referees, fans and players.

‘The rules of the game say it’s a penalty if the hand is at shoulder height,’ said Carballo. ‘And that it’s not a penalty if the arms are tight down by the sides of the body. And that it is also not a penalty if the hands are in a natural position. 

In LaLiga last term, more penalties were awarded for handball than in the previous season

‘But from 10 degrees (away from body) to 85 degrees (still not at shoulder height), what do we mean by natural position?’

The bad news is there has been no calming down of the handball controversy in Spain so far this season. 

On Saturday, Betis defender Marc Bartra was adjudged to have handled, despite Real Madrid striker Borja Mayoral appearing to push him into the ball.

Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini, the former Manchester City and West Ham boss, complained of having to beat ‘Real Madrid and VAR’ and could be banned for up to four games.

Last season, Sevilla defender Jules Kounde summed up defenders’ concerns when he said: ‘It’s difficult for defenders because we can’t play without using our arms.’

Just as in England, games are still being stopped to rule over incidents that have gone almost unnoticed in real time.
