Referees' panel clarifies Madrid derby incidents
The Technical Committee of Referees in Spain confirmed the existence of a clear mistake by the referee in the Madrid Derby moments between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. Their review resulted in the validation of two controversial decisions made during the match. It was acknowledged that the referee made an error in changing the yellow card to a red card against Christian Romero, as the incident called for a straight red due to a stamp; however, the committee believed that the yellow card decision was correct after reviewing the video assistant referee (VAR) footage. Regarding Kang In Lee's tackle on Federico Valverde, the committee concluded that Kang In Lee deserved a direct red card because he lunged aggressively and recklessly. The referee should have shown a red card and used VAR to correct the mistake, which was eventually done. Additionally, the committee affirmed that the decision to send off Real Madrid defender Jesús was correct after reviewing the incident via VAR.
