Real Madrid’s return to the Mestalla was already marked by tension after the incidents last May, when Vinicius was the focus of racist insults. The situation ended up in the hands of justice, with a group of fans arrested and a complaint involved, which forced both parties to testify at the Court. Such was the impact that the streaming platform Netflix will transfer the Brazilian’s life to the small screen. They wanted part of that documentary to be captured in the Valencia field, but the club prohibited the entry of the production company’s cameras.

The start of the game did not help release tensions. The 100 minutes of play were marked by controversies, tensions, clashes and injuries. In just 30 minutes the locals managed to take the lead on the scoreboard. Two errors by the white team allowed Hugo Duro and Roman Yaremchuk to take the lead in the match. First, a mistake by Toni Kroos led to a counterattack that, although initially stifled, a poor pass from Fede Valverde revived the play. Despite Vinicius’ efforts to recover the situation, an error in ball control allowed Valencia to open the scoring. Quickly, another error, this time by Dani Carvajal, led to the second goal for the home team.

Despite his mistake in the second goal, it was Vini who put his team on his back and reversed the situation by scoring a double that would allow the points to be shared. A Brazilian who was surrounded by whistles coming from the stands every time he touched the ball. However, and despite the score being 2-2, Real Madrid was not satisfied with the day.

The controversy of the final minute of the match, which culminated in the expulsion of Bellingham, has led to Real Madrid contacting the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) considering that Gil Manzano’s decision damaged the final result.

It was the 100th minute of the game, a corner kick was taken by the white team, and the referee had already warned that there would be no second day after the kick. After Modric’s serve, Tchouaméni touched the goal, but the ball bounced off Brahim, who quickly managed to put it in the area and Jude finished off the goal, which meant the victory for Real Madrid and the three points for the team. leader.

Gil Manzano hesitated and did not whistle the end of the game when Madrid had possession, but instead waited several seconds, and just when he was going to re-center the ball that would end up in the goal, he decided to signal the end of the game. A term that caused the expectation of the men on the field, as they considered that the goal was valid, since they perceived it as a continuation of the play (and not a second). It was not until the referee made the opposite gesture with his head that they became aware of the invalidity of the goal. This unleashed the fury of the white players, who quickly went to Gil Manzano to protest and complain about what happened. Amid so many complaints, Bellingham received the expulsion.

The club considers that the error was serious and clear, and, therefore, they believe that referee Gil Manzano must pay for the error committed. They will convey their disagreement to the CTA and will appeal to the Bellingham red card.
