The Osasuna-Real Madrid, corresponding to day 24 of the League, responded to what can be expected from a clash between the Navarro and Madrid teams. Intensity, tension and also controversy.
They have not made it easy for MUNUERA MONTEROreferee … main meeting, as expected. Nor did he help the number of area plays where penalty was claimed. For me the arbitration team was fine in those decisions. If, by say, I think Moncayola’s action on Vinícius seems to be worth the maximum penalty.
Surely we will talk about the decisions that have harmed Madrid, including the expulsion of Bellingham. We can agree, with penalty decisions or not, but what is clear is that the one who leaves his team with ten players is Bellingham. And Mbappé was also about to be expelled for getting rid of a defender who was grabbing him.
These are, one by one, the most controversial moves of the meeting:
Minute 2: Vinícius asks for a penalty for a hand of Catena. In the action the Brazilian cuts him and the defender touches the ball slightly with his hand while sliding on the ground. Munuera Montero does not point and hits it. The collegiate considers that the defense arm is on the ground and serves as a player.
Minute 9: Vinícius fall in a dispute with Moncayola. For me the defender is late and hits the attacker’s thigh, so the action should have been sanctioned with maximum penalty. However, the referee does not whistle. Mistake.
Minute 21: Cabecea Fede Valverde inside the Osasuna area and the ball gives Juan Cruz in the arm. It is not sanctioned because the defender’s arm is attached to the body in natural position. The play ends up Carlo Ancelotti for protesting. “It is a clear penalty,” says the Italian coach to Munuera Montero.
Minute 40: Direct red card to Jude Bellingham for saying something to the referee. Only the wording of the act will reveal the words that English directed the referee in his exchange of impressions in the center of the field. Munuera Montero has not hesitated to expel the Real Madrid player and explained his decision to the Captain of Real Madrid, Luka Modric.
Minute 54: Budimir finishes after a rejection of Thibaut Courtois and when trying to cover the shot Camavinga steps on the foot of the striker once he had finished. The referee does not whistle but the VAR calls him, because although the striker had finished it is a reckless action deserving of yellow. Being reckless action, it cannot be considered as “residual Criminal.” Munuera shows the French card and decrees penalty launch.
Minute 90+2: The Real Madrid wants to leave in counterattack, but Moi Gómez grabs the waist to Mbappé and this to get out of the defender throws his arms back. One of them gives in the mouth of the Osasuna player. I think both players deserved yellow but I don’t see aggression of the Madrid striker.
