Atlético - Betis: Refereeing Under the Microscope
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial match against Real Betis at the Metropolitano, a game that could be decisive in the fight to secure a place in the next Champions League. However, the refereeing appointment has generated controversy among the Colchoneros fans.
Gil Manzano has been assigned to VAR, while Cordero Vega will be the main referee, reversing the roles from the previous match. The appointment of Gil Manzano has caused some stir due to his history of controversial decisions in Atlético matches.
This is compounded by the recent controversy generated by his refereeing in the match between Deportivo Alavés and Valencia, where a penalty awarded by Gil Manzano, considered non-existent, ended up harming Valencia.
Despite the criticism, the Rojiblanco team remains focused on adding the three points at home. The unconditional support of the fans at the Metropolitano will be essential to propel the team to victory.
Atlético relies on its game and the quality of its players to overcome any adversity and achieve the goal of qualifying for the Champions League. The club and the fans expect fair and transparent refereeing that does not tarnish the development of the match.
