Real Madrid has been connected to alternating current since the start of the season. Three days after their great victory on the pitch of Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League, the Merengue were in fact forced to a draw on Saturday on the pitch of Rayo Vallecano (3-3). A lesser evil for the Spanish champions, trailing 2-0 after barely half an hour of play.
The Madrid club nevertheless had a bad time at the end of the meeting. The fault of Mr. José Luis Munuera Montero, the referee of the match. The Real Madrid channel did not hesitate to denounce on its antenna “ a manipulation of the course of the competition.” The reason? The yellow card inflicted on the 74e
minute to Vinicius just a few minutes after coming into play, this warning being synonymous with suspension for the clash against Sevilla next weekend, and a penalty refused immediately after a charge from Khalid Abdul Mumin.
La Liga result distorted?
A fine player, Inigo Pérez, Rayo coach, also recognized that the action would have actually deserved a penalty. “I don’t like to lie and I think Mumin is hitting Vinícius… We reviewed the images on our video monitor with my assistant and for us, the referee could have whistled. But hey, in this kind of action, it’s often interpretation.” he confided while Real planned to file an appeal with the arbitration committee.
And according to Defensa Central, Kylian Mbappé, on the sidelines due to his thigh injury, would be just as outraged as his teammates on the pitch. He would have complained to his partners about the low level of the referee of the match and more generally about the overall level of refereeing in Spain, being surprised by the number of errors committed every weekend on La Liga pitches. He would have opened up in particular to his French teammates and would believe that these repeated errors would weigh on the La Liga ranking.
