Mbappé Makes Cristóbal Soria Look Ridiculous, Asks for Him to be Expelled and Ends up Humiliated

The 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' commentator is back in the spotlight for the Real Madrid striker

Real Madrid's victory at Montilivi puts Real Madrid back close to the top spot . After FC Barcelona's draw against Real Betis, Carlo Ancelotti's men are once again relying on themselves to be the leaders of the league in these matches.

One of the most striking actions of the match between Girona and Real Madrid is a handball by Kylian Mbappé . The Bondy striker, looking for a quick transition, controlled the pass directed toward him with an prohibited area of the body... which caused the play to be annulled due to that infringement .

By then, Bondy's striker had already been booked . This combination of circumstances led Cristóbal Soria to write a message on his personal X account to request the expulsion of the Real Madrid '9'. "Mbappé tries to trick the referee by playing the ball with his hand and trying to take advantage of the action," argues the Seville commentator.

The reality is that the decision taken by Gil Manzano , as established by the regulations ,  It's perfect . Because that action led by Kylian Mbappé ended in the worst possible way and left no doubts for the referee. That's why the referee of the match interpreted that it was not necessary to show the second yellow card to the Real Madrid '9'.

Another One

These comments made by the referee of the match contradicted the idea that Cristóbal Soria had. The commentator of 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' tried to use the "regulation" in his protest: "that is a yellow card unless it is Mbappé or a Real Madrid player."

The reality of the match quickly put Cristóbal Soria in the spotlight . Because Real Madrid not only kept Kylian Mbappé on the field, but the Bondy striker scored the decisive goal to close out the match at Montilivi .

This new victory for Real Madrid comes at a difficult time for FC Barcelona. Just like Carlo Ancelotti's pupils, the team coached by Hansi Flick is not finding consistency in its results in La Liga . These changing dynamics bring the Merengue team closer to the top spot: they depend on themselves to achieve it.

The remaining matches in December are key to correcting the sporting course of the last month and a half. The complicated situation in the Champions League could be corrected during the next week, in the match against Atalanta . The visit to the Gewiss Stadium is a 'double or nothing' for a Real Madrid that must not fail in its favorite competition.
