The referee of the match Valencia – Real Madrid blew the final whistle before the Blancos hit the opponents’ goal
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti commented on the scandalous episode at the end of the meeting with Valencia (2:2) in the 27th round of Examples. Let us remind you that match referee Gil Manzano blew the final whistle immediately before the Blancos scored a goal.
“I don’t have much to say. Something unprecedented happened, something that had never happened to me before. After the rebound we had the ball. If the referee whistled when the Valencia goalkeeper saved the ball, that would be one situation. But he allowed the game to continue, we had the ball. I think he made a mistake.”
“The red card against Bellingham concerned us because he didn’t say anything offensive. It was a disappointment. He said “damn goal” and it’s true. It wasn’t an insult. Let’s see what they write in the match report.”
During stoppage time of the Valencia-Real Madrid match, Madrid took a corner kick. The goalkeeper saved the cross, but the Blancos attack continued. Referee Gil Manzano blew the final whistle moments before Brahim Diaz’s pass was crossed by Jude Bellingham. As a result, the goal was not counted, the Englishman received a red card for unnecessary emotions after this decision.
Let us remind you that in the match with Real Madrid, the Ukrainian scored his fourth goal for Valencia this season Roman Yaremchuk, taking advantage of a blunder by Dani Carvajal. Another Ukrainian footballer, Andrey Lunin, played the entire match in the Blancos goal.
Real are leading La Liga, seven points ahead of Girona. In the next match, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will play at home against Celta Vigo on March 10.
