Spanish referees' committee reviews Madrid derby fairness
The Spanish referees committee settled the controversy over the decisions made by the referee in the Madrid Derby between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, confirming that Letang En-Li from Atlético was deserving of a red card for fouling Real Madrid's Federico Valverde, and that the failure to issue one was a clear mistake. Additionally, video review showed that Atlético defender Christian Romero’s tackle on Jude Bellingham warranted a red card, but the reason for not issuing one was a misunderstanding of the situation. The committee's decision is that a red card must be issued directly by the referee, and it was also affirmed that Real Madrid defender Den Hoesen deserved a red card in the penalty incident where he fouled Juliano Simeone inside the penalty area, as a straight red should have been shown due to preventing a clear scoring opportunity. These decisions are significant as they impact the course of the match, which ended with Atlético winning 2-1, and Real Madrid expressed their protest against the refereeing, emphasizing that the absence of red cards in these two unfair situations affected the outcome of the game.
