The great controversy on Saturday afternoon focused on the great match between Real Betis and Celta de Vigo. Both teams needed a victory to return to the three-point path, and finally, to everyone’s surprise, Celta beat a Betis team that conceded too much in their own stadium.
These are those matches that you hate when your team is on the pitch but that you enjoy to the fullest when you are a mere neutral spectator: the Vigo team won 3-4.
Around the football issue, there is little to attribute to what is already considered one of the great games of this campaign, but the controversy flew over Seville in discount time.
In the 95th minute, Luiz Felipe gave Iago Aspas a push in the chest without the ball, who immediately fell to the ground. The match official, Del Cerro Grande, immediately sent off the Brazilian central defender, and from the video arbitration room they did not correct the decision made by the referee. According to the minutes, Luiz Felipe saw the red for: “In the 90th minute the player (19) Ramos Marchi, Luiz Felipe was sent off for the following reason: Hitting an opponent’s chest with his hand in a violent manner when the ball was not in play. The player who received said blow had to be treatedbeing able to continue the game normally”.
The Betis captain, Joaquin, stated the following as soon as the match ended: “I asked him to see the play and He told me that they would have told him from the VAR that there was a blow to the face. I told him to go check it out. I don’t understand why if the VAR is for this. If it’s a red card I don’t understand why, if the VAR It is for this, for this type of play. What does he lose by going to the VAR to review?
To add fuel to the fire, Manuel Pellegrini was very forceful when it came to criticizing Iago Aspas’ attitude in said play: “Luiz Felipe hits the ball. I think what we have to improve in The league is that the players stop simulating and cheating. It seems to me an unforgivable disloyalty of Iago Aspas. They have to improve the players in LaLiga. Luiz Felipe hits his hand, not his face. It is disloyalty, reprehensible. He must be sanctioned the same as the expelled”.
See the images and interpret for yourselves if the Galician exaggerates or the Brazilian left the game in a fair way.
