Real Madrid also clung due to a red card for Jude Bellingham because of an obvious insult to referee in the Spanish title fight. The record champion had to be satisfied with a 1-1 (1-0) in the away game at CA Osasuna. City rival Atlético Madrid could go to Real in Real with a win on Saturday evening against Celta Vigo.
Real was already on the winning road after a quarter of an hour after the leadership by striker Kylian Mbappé before Bellingham apparently lost his nerves. The Englishman did not seem to have agreed with a referee decision and also informed the referee José Luis Munuera. The latter suddenly pulled out the red card and sent the midfield star off the square in the 39th minute. Which words had been please remained open at first. To the trouble of Real, Osasuna came to compensate by ante Budimir (58th) with a controversial penalty. The video referee had switched on after Eduardo Camavinga had stepped on the foot after completing a Budimir goal shot from Budimir. Real coach Carlo Ancelotti beat both hands in front of the face on the sidelines.
Presumably, Real had recently criticized the referee’s essence in Spain massively and publicly. After the 0-1 at Espanyol Barcelona, the royales had written a four -page protest letter to the Spanish Football Association and published it on his website. The performance of the referee team including the Var was “scandalous”. It is “the highlight of a completely discredited referee system, whose decisions against Real Madrid have achieved a point at which the falsification and manipulation of the competition can no longer be ignored,” real erected. The club leadership “lost the mind,” said league President Javier Tebas in response to the news agency “AP”. Tebas also revealed that the league is considering legal steps because of the letter.
