The title has undoubtedly gone definitively in Seville for Real Madrid. Left behind by FC Barcelona at the top of La Liga, the White House was joined at the end of added time by Betis on Friday evening (1-1), thus giving its Catalan rival, expected in Getafe this afternoon (4:15 p.m.), the opportunity to widen the gap.
A frustrating result for Alvaro Arbeloa, who complained about the refereeing against the Andalusians. For him, a penalty should have been awarded to Ferland Mendy in the final moments of the game.
“For me, it’s very clear. It doesn’t take much in these kinds of situations, where you’re using the body, to be slightly unbalanced.”he reacted.
Two penalties forgotten for Real Madrid?
“But for that, you have to understand a minimum of the subtleties of football. And we have a problem, because those who have to make these decisions don’t understand”lamented the Merengue coach, who noted another forgotten penalty, in the first period, on a strike from Brahim Diaz deflected with the hand by a defender.
“A very clear penalty, with an open hand. There’s not much to see, it’s very clearhe said. And on the last action, Mendy won his position. At the slightest touch on the arm… It’s something very basic. This isn’t the first time this has happened to us. These are decisions that weigh enormously in a match. »
