Barcelona achieved a thrilling victory over Real Madrid with a clean goal in the match that was held between them on Thursday evening at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the King’s Cup semi-final.
The match witnessed an arbitration controversy more than once, which marked the first half almost next to the goal. The most famous of these shots was the strong friction that took place between Frenkie de Jong and Vinicius Junior, and the latter received a yellow card.
The Brazilian player did not like the referee’s decision, despite the violent way in which he tried to stop De Jong. It was more like free wrestling rounds on the ring, and he was severely attacked by the referee, and it seemed that he had insulted and profaned him.
In its coverage of the course of the match, the Madrid newspaper AS admitted that the referee made a fatal mistake as he was negligent in expelling Vinicius. The newspaper believes that Vinicius should have been expelled after this violent confrontation and verbal abuse of the referee.
Not only did the referee compliment Vinicius in that case, but he issued a yellow card in Jaffe’s face after a joint quarrel between the Spanish player and the Brazilian winger while he should have shown the card to both sides of the quarrel.
