Correa, Expulsion and Possible Sanction in Getafe
A bittersweet match for Ángel Correa in Getafe, marred by an expulsion that could lead to a severe sanction. The Atlético de Madrid forward received a red card in the 87th minute, a crucial moment in the match.
The expulsion occurred after a challenge on Djené, which was initially sanctioned with a yellow card, but after VAR review, referee Cuadra Fernández corrected and showed the direct red.
The situation is further complicated for Correa, as, according to the referee’s report, he addressed the referee with insults after the expulsion. This could carry a sanction of between four and twelve matches, in addition to the match he must already serve for the red.
If the maximum sanction is confirmed, Correa would miss several important Atlético matches in national competitions. This incident brings to mind the sanction that Diego Costa received in 2019, after being expelled at the Camp Nou and addressing the referee with insults. The club and the fans are now awaiting the resolution of the Competition Committee, hoping that the sanction is not excessively severe and that Correa can soon return to contribute his talent to the team.
