This Friday, January 3, Valencia lost on home soil against Real Madrid in a late match on the 12th day of La Liga. If the locals had taken the advantage at the start of the match, goals from Luka Modric (85th) and Jude Bellingham (90+5th) allowed Real Madrid to come through painfully. Scorer for Valencia, Hugo Duro did not hide his dissatisfaction with the refereeing at the microphone of the Movistar after the meeting. “Seeing them come back like that hurts a lot, especially after playing eleven against ten. Moreover, today it seems that the referee did not want to give a boost in our favor. He did not review the action on the equalizer, and did not return to the previous fault. »
The Spanish striker put things into perspective a few moments later, explaining that “We all complain. The referee does his best. This will not give us a victory or a draw. We must concentrate on our work”. 19th in the standings, Valencia is in great danger and the second half of the season will undoubtedly be synonymous with a race to maintain its position for this historic club.
