We will remember this Valencia – Real Madrid one evening in March 2024 for a very long time. A match which could change the career of the referee of the match Gil Manzano. The Spanish referee whistled the end of the game during a heated action which ended with a goal from Jude Bellingham.
The 40-year-old subsequently decided to send off Jude Bellingham who had logically expressed his dissatisfaction after the referee’s decision. According to information from Marca, the Spanish referee could be let go by his management who consider that these events will go down in the history of La Liga. His decision to whistle the end of the match so early would be considered a big mistake. The technical direction of refereeing would be positioned in line with Real Madrid.
What future for Gil Manzano?
What will happen to Gil Manzano? Will this episode tarnish his reputation? Highly possible. Real Madrid will contact the Technical Referees Committee so that the Spaniard is sanctioned.

He might no longer referee for a few matches. It is also very likely that he will no longer be appointed to officiate during Real Madrid matches. This story is far from over. To be continued.
