Madrid and Atlético fail amid refereeing debates and open the door to the lead for Barça

BarcelonaBarça, who seemed lost in the league a few weeks ago, can take the lead if they beat Rayo Vallecano on Monday. Once again, the results favoured the Blaugrana team, who saw Real Madrid and Atlético fail in two games marked by red cards. First, the Whites were held to a 1-1 draw at Osasuna, their third consecutive game in the league without a win. And then, Atlético were left with one man less after five minutes of play and ended up drawing with Celta de Vigo at the Metropolitano (1-1).

The star of the day, however, was Jude Bellingham. The English player was sent off in the first half of Madrid's match in Pamplona for protesting at Munuera Montero. According to the match report, Bellingham told him "fuck you" in English, while the player defends that he said "fuck off", a foul expression that according to Bellingham could say"fuck". According to the English dictionaries, however, this expression is translated as "you see the shit". Ancelotti also made a move to protest the referee's decision to award a penalty in favor of the Navarrese in the second half due to a clear scramble from Camavinga to Budimir. The Croatian midfielder will take the maximum penalty, defeating Courtois and thereby avoiding the defeat of the whites. guanyar the partit at the end, quan Mbappé is going to stay alone with Herrera, who will be able to complete the game. Finally it will be the third consecutive League game without guarantee for a Madrid that continues to annoy both the referees. Since the white club is going to issue a statement saying that after the defeat to the Espanyol camp, in fact, they have awarded two penalties against the League. They had not been whistled at before.

With Real Madrid's draw, Atlético had a great opportunity to go top by themselves if they won at Celta Vigo. But in the first minutes of the match, Pablo Barrios was late to the ball and stabbed Pablo Durán's leg with his studs. Diego Pablo Simeone's team was left with one less man at the start, which made them change their plan and prioritize defense against a Celta team that did not know how to take advantage of their superiority until the 68th minute, when a penalty from Le Normand allowed Iago Aspas to score. The Galicians, who have a much worse level of play when playing away from home, ended up seeing Sorloth equalize with 10 minutes to go in the match, a draw that did not help the home team to be leaders. On the contrary, they could end up third in the standings if Barça do not fail against Rayo.
