Real Madrid will be without French left back Mendy for next Sunday’s debut at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium against Valladolid. The footballer will miss his league debut at his home stadium as a result of his dismissal last night for a challenge on Muriqi in the 96th minute near the end of the penalty.
Something the referee also recorded in the referee’s report: “The player Ferland Mendy was sent off for the following reasons: for a tackle with excessive force in the dispute for the ball.” The key to the penalty imposed by the Competition Committee the next day was the fact that the referee’s report included the fact that it happened in a dispute for the ball, even though it was with excessive force.

Because that brings us to two articles that reflect this. The first is 121 related to direct expulsion and where it says verbatim that: “A direct expulsion during a match shall entail the imposition of the penalty of suspension for at least one match, unless the fact constitutes a more serious offence.” , with a corresponding pecuniary accessory.”
It is in the second paragraph where he makes it clear that only in those situations where there is no option to dispute the ball will he charge two matches: “In those cases where the expulsion from the field of play is due to the circumstances. if where “the soccer player will not have the possibility to play for the ball, the suspension is at least two games.”
The same thing says in article 130 about violence in the game: “It happens in a violent way on the occasion of the game or as a direct result of any incident thereof, provided that the action causes danger, but no harm or harmful consequences will occur, it will be punished by a suspension of one to three games or for a period of up to one month.” Since it was the first time, it was normal for the Frenchman to be sanctioned for that match. If the action “takes place on the sidelines of the game, unable to fight the ball or the stopped game”, as stated in the second paragraph of this article, this is when he is exposed to a minimum. of two games : “this is punishable by a suspension of two to three games.” Taking all this into account, it seems clear that the French full-back will miss the Santiago Bernabéu next Sunday but will return for the visit of Las Palmas on the third day.
