The Madrid derby: a controversial play
The match between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium left a play that went somewhat unnoticed, but which could have changed the course of the game.
A tackle by Dani Ceballos on Pablo Barrios, in which the Andalusian player caused significant harm to the rojiblanco, was sanctioned with a yellow card. However, for some experts, the action should have been reviewed and a red card should have been given.
Former referee Iturralde González claims that the Real Madrid player should have been expelled, as he was not going for the ball and stretched his leg to make contact.
This controversial play has generated debate among fans and experts, and many believe that the outcome of the game could have been different if a more severe decision had been made.
Atlético de Madrid continues to fight to prove its worth in the EA Sports League, and this type of situation can be crucial in the battle for points. The team’s fans expect their players to keep giving their best and for justice to be served impartially on the field. With the passion and support of their fans, Atlético de Madrid will move forward, ready to face the next challenges in the competition.
