Toni Freixa 'catches' Jota Jordi's influence and makes an outrageous comment about Mbappé and the red card
The forcefulness that several experts had regarding the harsh tackle Kylian Mbappé received from Romero
Reactions around the tackle Mbappé suffered against Espanyol continue to emerge. The Frenchman, who was in the middle of a counterattack, could have been injured by Carlos Romero. Although the action didn't escalate, this caused great discontent among thousands of people except for Toni Freixa.
"Comedy they can continue with. Romero doesn't even touch Mbappé," were the words he left on his X account. In an unbelievable manner, Freixa has turned a blind eye to a clear foul just like Muñiz Ruiz. With Romero having made contact with Mbappé, Freixa's words make no sense due to the clarity of the foul.
This only demonstrates Toni Freixa's complete ignorance in this sport. Additionally, it also exposes his anti-Madridism by claiming that Romero's tackle isn't a foul. Generating controversy due to this, his words are very reminiscent of the ignorance that Jota Jordi usually demonstrates.
An obvious foul
Despite there being various interpretations of the play, it's evident that Romero commits a foul on Mbappé. Throwing himself at the Frenchman instead of the ball, the contact is more than clear. Through several videos and images that have been shown regarding this play, it can be seen that Romero makes contact with the French striker.
However, all of this has been completely ignored by a Toni Freixa who has labeled the situation as a comedy. A word that has ignited social media because the foul committed has everything but humorous traits.

With Mbappé potentially having been injured from this play, the severity of Romero's tackle is evident. However, for Freixa this seems to be nothing punishable, ignoring an evident contact that shows Romero's fault.
Freixa's ignorance
No matter how clear the play is, it's undeniable that Freixa's opinion on the play won't change at all. Completely ignoring the risk of the situation, Freixa did the same as Muñiz Ruiz during the match, turning a blind eye.
