Manolo Lama's reaction to Huijsen's red card, what he said live

Manolo Lama's reaction to Huijsen's red card, what he said live

What happened in this last match in San Sebastián for Real Madrid has been one of the biggest embarrassments seen recently. Once again, the main protagonist of this scandal is Jesús Gil Manzano, who has an extremely poor record against the white team. However, rarely do so many opinions agree as in the case of Manolo Lama, who was shocked by the red card.

"For me, it's a yellow card," was what he said just before the referee showed the red card to expel the Madrid defender. "He has Militao next to him," was how he reacted to that decision by the referee. This shows that, even though many are against Real Madrid, when there's such an obvious mistake like this, there are no colors.

Nobody could believe it

Jesús Gil Manzano had a grotesque night in a match that gradually got out of his hands in the first half. However, what he did with the expulsion of the young Real Madrid defender was a huge mistake that will serve as a lesson for the CTA. Even Manolo Lama couldn't believe this decision by the referee, who showed he had very poor judgment.

Later, in the analysis, the play was reviewed where many agreed that the referee's decision to expel the footballer was not justified. He had the support of his teammate next to him, even being further ahead than him and the Real Sociedad striker. However, being at a fairly considerable distance to clearly see the play, he decided to expel him just because.

This will surely have repercussions, since it has recently been learned that Madrid will file a formal complaint to FIFA. The Technical Committee of Referees will surely face a tough test if the highest soccer authority intervenes. This is one of the many times referees have harmed Real Madrid, but in this four-match league, there have already been several.

They must stop now

This kind of persecution against Real Madrid has to stop once and for all, since it's being blatant and hypocritical. Otherwise, the consequences that could occur among the institutions involved would leave Spanish soccer in a very bad light.
