According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the match between Real Madrid and Betis had the match ball changed three times in succession after kickoff.
In the first minute of the match, after the ball was passed to Courtois, the Belgian goalkeeper signaled to referee Hernández Hernández that the ball's air pressure was insufficient. The referee immediately made the first change of the match ball.
A few minutes later, after Bellerín committed a foul on Vinícius, Güler picked up the ball to take a free kick and, like his Brazilian teammate, questioned the air pressure. After a quick inspection and brief discussion, the referee changed the match ball again. A throw-in after the seventh minute also caused dissatisfaction, with Dumfries not consulting the referee and instead changing the ball himself on the touchline at the La Cartuja Stadium.
