Lunin's Wife Explodes on Social Media after Possible Penalty: 'If You're a Little...'

Doesn't stay silent and shuts many mouths after the controversy with Lunin's possible penalty

Real Madrid advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey after defeating Celta de Vigo in extra time. The Meringues were far superior, and only two gifts to the Vigo team led to the tie. However, with spectacular goals from Endrick and Fede Valverde, they managed to secure the standings.

However, anti-Madrid sentiment is trying to use a play to tarnish the Meringue victory. It was in the action before Mbappé's goal, where Celta claims a penalty. Lunin came out to intercept a ball, but they claim he took Swedberg down.

The referee didn't call a penalty, and the VAR thoroughly reviewed the play but didn't see anything either. However, many have claimed that it should have been called. This didn't sit well with Anastasia Tamazova, Lunin's wife, who exploded on social media.

She is usually very alert to her husband's performances, and taking advantage of his return to the starting position, she didn't let it go unnoticed. "With all the cameras and replays, if you're a little alert, you can see how Andriy touches the ball," she began. For her, that's what determines there was no penalty.

She also made it clear that it's visible"how the ball slightly changes its trajectory." But in case anyone still had doubts, she was going to silence everyone by explaining why. "Because he touches it with his fingers, there's no wind at Bernabéu," she shut more than one person up.

They try to overshadow another Real Madrid triumph with refereeing controversies

It's not surprising that some focus onthe refereeing performance to overshadow Madrid's victory. After losing the Super Cup, they were rubbing their hands, seeing the Whites eliminated in the Cup. They thought it was going to be a very tough week and would open a crisis.

However, after seeing how they managed to prevail, they've found in that dubious play the best excuse. They haven't stopped talking about anything else instead of the spectacular goals from Fede Valverde and Endrick. Much less about a Mbappé who once again delivered a great performance.
