Didac Aguirre Mateu Lahoz's Reaction to Bellingham's Red Card Against Osasuna: The Strangest...
The unexpected comment that Bellingham's expulsion received from Mateu Lahoz
The reactions surrounding the match between Real Madrid and Osasuna haven't stopped. In a game marked by controversies, one of the most notable was that of Jude Bellingham. The Briton saw the red card after a non-existent insult from him toward the referee, Munuera Montero.
"The strangest thing is that the referee explains the play to Luka Modric," was the reaction of Mateu Lahoz. The former Spanish referee highlighted that there was really no need for Montero to provide explanations regarding his decision. "He was involved in the play and saw everything very closely," he pointed out about Modric's proximity at the time of the controversy.
Through this, Lahoz has tried to avoid his opinion regarding the injustice against Bellingham. Suggesting that Modric might have understood Montero's decision, Lahoz has made his stance clear on this incident.
Lahoz's Opinion
Like Lahoz, several people and experts have expressed their opinions about the match in Pamplona. Real Madrid, once again, has been a victim of refereeing that hasn't been up to the level of LaLiga. However, the opinion of the former referee has stood out for his experience in this field and for his focus on the play in question.
Through his words, Lahoz made his confusion clear regarding the explanations Montero had to give after the Englishman's expulsion. Given Modric's proximity to the play, the former referee made it clear that the Croatian should have understood this unjust decision.
Another indication that refereeing should have undergone significant changes for several seasons. Even with Modric's involvement, it's not at all strange that the Croatian, being captain, came out to defend his teammate before the referee.
Another Controversy
It seems that Real Madrid, no matter what happens, will continue to be constantly harmed by Spanish refereeing. The match against Osasuna was yet another in the long list of controversial games that the Merengue team has had to play.
