MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was left baffled after two handball calls went against his side in Sunday's enthralling 2-2 draw at home to Sevilla which left Los Blancos still trailing La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid in the title race.

With the game poised at 1-1, Real's Eder Militao was penalised after a VAR review for touching the ball with his hand as he jumped to defend a cross.

Ivan Rakitic scored from the spot to restore Sevilla's lead but a Diego Carlos own goal in the 93rd minute snatched a point for Real to leave them two points behind Atletico. "I don't understand it at all. If it's a handball against Militao it has to be a handball against Sevilla too," Zidane told Spanish network Movistar Plus.

Real director Emilio Butragueno joined Zidane in expressing his frustration with the decision, recalling his side were denied a penalty against Atletico in March when the ball came off the hand of defender Felipe when he jumped for a header.
