He Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) has decided to pardon a Jesus Gil Manzano and take it out of the refrigerator after its controversial performance on March 2 at the Mestalla stadium, just in the last play of the LaLiga EA Sports clash between Valencia and Real Madrid (2-2).
That day, before calling the final whistle, the Extremaduran referee had warned that the final corner kick would not be rejected. However, instead of blowing the whistle immediately, he let the play continue just enough for Brahim Díaz to put in a good cross from the right wing and Jude Bellingham will send the ball into the netbeating Mamardashvili with a header.
But that goal, which would have made the score 2-3 in the 98th minute and, therefore, Madrid’s victory against the Valencians, did not go up on the scoreboard and Mestalla burned again: monumental tangana, Bellingham’s expulsion for his complaints to the referee and Carlo Ancelotti’s team leaving two points.
That match corresponded to matchday 27 of the League and, since then, Gil Manzano He has been left without calling a match on the following two dates (28 and 29), neither as the main referee nor in the VAR, although he was the fourth official in the Europa League clash between Sparta Prague and Liverpool, as well as in the Georgia-Luxembourg match of the European Championship qualifying play-offs. In addition, he directed the France-Germany friendly (0-2) last Saturday.
Now he will whistle this weekend in the League after the CTA has decided to take him out of the refrigerator: specifically, the man from Badajoz will direct the duel this Sunday at the Montilivi stadium, in a very important clash in the fight for Europe between Girona and Betis which will begin at 4:15 p.m.
