This weekend, the refereeing caused controversy in La Liga during the match between Valencia and Real Madrid. Indeed, the match referee, Gil Manzano, whistled the end of the match on the cross which preceded Jude Bellingham’s goal, which was canceled. Which angered the Merengues. Questioned on this subject, Gerard Piqué (37 years old), who never misses an opportunity to tackle his old rival, did not mince his words concerning the referee during a live with YouTuber Ibai. His words are relayed by Marca.
“We all already know the level of this referee. He kicked me out at El Sadar (Piqué had been sent off while he was a substitute, editor’s note), and I said nothing. I don’t understand, because he is an international referee. He should have a top level. What happened yesterday (Saturday, editor’s note), it’s not the first time he’s done it. I understand that Madrid can complain, but they should have whistled first. It’s not a bad whistle, it’s a whistle too late. Whistling just when you are crossing makes no sense.”. That’s what it says!
