Correa Apologizes After Expulsion
Ángel Correa, forward for Atlético de Madrid, has issued a public apology following his expulsion in the match against Getafe, which ended in a 2-1 defeat for the Rojiblancos. The incident occurred in the 87th minute, when Atleti was winning 0-1, after a harsh tackle on Djené that earned him a straight red card.
Correa’s expulsion proved to be a turning point, with Arambarri scoring two goals that gave Getafe the victory. The Argentine player not only left the team with ten men but also addressed the referee in terms that were recorded in the report, which could result in a significant sanction, potentially ranging from four to 12 games of suspension.
Through his account on the social network ‘X’, Correa expressed his regret: ‘I want to apologize to the referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernández for my reaction after the expulsion.
My respect for referees is total and this reaction is not typical of me.’ He also extended his apologies to his teammates, coaching staff, and the Colchoneros fans, acknowledging that his action was inappropriate and had a high cost for the team.
It is hoped that these apologies may influence the reduction of the sanction the player receives. From the Atleti fans, it is hoped that this incident will serve as a learning experience and that Angelito will soon return to the field, contributing his usual talent and determination to the team.
