Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has criticised the referee for his inexplicable mistake of showing a red card to an opponent who had a heavy challenge on Kylian Mbappe in Saturday’s 1-0
La Liga defeat at Espanyol. The hour into the game, left-back Carlos Romero was shown a yellow card for a tackle on Mbappe in the middle of the pitch by referee Alejandro Muniz. Real Madrid
tried to protest for a red card but VAR did not intervene, allowing Romero to stay on the pitch until the 85th minute when he scored the decisive goal. “The decision
of the referee and VAR is inexplicable,” Ancelotti said after the score cut Atletico’s lead to a point. “The
most important thing is to protect the players. Everyone saw it. It was a foul and a foul. หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล “It was a clear foul and a foul. “
Luckily no one was hurt, but we have VAR for situations like this. I cannot find a reason why he did not show a red card. “
We had a difficult game. There were many things we did well. We controlled the game and created chances, especially in the first half. “
And We had 20 shots on target throughout the game. We had shots that didn’t go in. And We hit the post and the crossbar. Espanyol defended and counter-attacked well. “
“The opposition took advantage of the disruption to punish them with goals. Rudiger has a muscular injury and we have to assess him. We talked internally about the reinforcements. We know what we have to do.””
Romero, the perpetrator, also spoke openly: “I know it’s impossible to stop Mbappe when he’s running with the ball. It was an ugly challenge. I don’t like what I did and I’ve already apologized to him.”
