Real Madrid were defeated by Celta (2:0) last night in the 15th round of La Liga. The Madrid team was defeated at home for the first time this season, and finished the game with two men less, after Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras were sent off. Endrik, who was on the bench, was also shown a red card.
And Real Madrid are angry with referee Alejandro Quintero. And not only because of these red cards, but because he did not punish Celta player Borja Iglesias, who hit Jude Bellingham and made him bleed. Iglesias did not even receive a yellow card for that kick.
The controversial incident occurred in the 61st minute, with Celta leading 1-0, and just before Fran Garcia was sent off. Iglesias elbowed Bellingham in the head, causing him to bleed, requiring stitches. He then returned to the game and was immediately shown a yellow card.
Bellingham received a yellow card for entering the field without the referee's permission.
Real Madrid are furious that the referee did not show a red card to the Celta player. Madrid believe that the rules were not applied correctly and claim that the referee should have looked at the video of the controversial situation, which did not happen.
The Spanish Refereeing Commission said that the mere fact that there is blood does not mean that the action must end with the viewing of the video.
