A few days before the summit clash against Naples in the Champions League, Real Madrid reassured itself by correcting Girona (3-0), in the process giving itself a unit lead over its runner-up, FC Barcelona. Despite this victory, the 7th in La Liga since the start of the season, the Madrid club may tremble because it risks doing without the services of Nacho for several matches. The reason ? The Merengue captain lost his composure by committing a nasty tackle on Portu (90th + 4).
Injured, the opposing attacker was evacuated on a stretcher and the Spanish defender was sent off after review of the VAR. The 33-year-old may have apologized after the meeting, but he should indeed be sanctioned. “I would like to apologize to Portu for an unintentional action during the match. Today and in my entire career, I have never intended to harm anyone. I hope you can recover well and quickly”, blurted out the Madrilenian. According to Acethe Spanish international (24 caps, 1 goal) risks between one and four games of suspension and could therefore miss the Clasico against FC Barcelona, scheduled for October 28, counting for the 11th day of the Spanish championship.
