On March 3, Beijing time, in the history of Spain, a humiliating game is being staged, and the initiator is the referee Manzano. After the 2-2 draw, Real Madrid almost gave Valencia a 3-2 victory with a header from Bellingham in stoppage time. However, referee Manzano blew the final whistle before Bellingham's head to prevent Real Madrid from winning. At the end of the game, the referee also showed Bellingham a yellow card, which would have resulted in Belling's suspension.
Let's take a look back at the game. Real Madrid fell from 0-2 but relied on two goals from the Cubs to tie the score at 2:2. With 90 minutes played, the referee gave 7 minutes of extra time. In stoppage time, Valencia was awarded a penalty, but he walked to the sidelines and cancelled the spot-kick. The whole process takes at least 2 minutes. At around 98 minutes and 40 seconds, Bellingham played a pass on the right side of Real Madrid. However, just as Real Madrid's pass was aborted, Real Madrid's goal was also cancelled.
In the slow-motion replay, the referee watched the movement of the ball intently, and Real Madrid did not lose possession, still attacking, and even crossing. The referee blew his final whistle at this time. VAR was also involved in stoppage time, so the referee should take that into account. It can be said that Real Madrid suffered a huge injustice in this battle. After the game, Bellingham and the rest of the Real Madrid players surrounded the referee for an explanation. Bellingham said: "Damn it, the ball is still in the air. 'Bellingham was sent off. The rest of the Real Madrid players were also angry, but the staff persuaded them away.
Speaking to a press conference after the game, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "What can I say, there's nothing to say, it's never been before. At the same time, he also defended his apprentice, because Behring did not insult the referee. The outcome of this game cannot be changed, but the referee Manzano will definitely be investigated after the game, and this decision can be said to be a great shame for Spain and the entire football world.
