He Villarreal started a very important tie at Mestalla last night, especially after playing from the 68th minute with ten players due to the expulsion for the double yellow of the Frenchman with Senegalese nationality, Pape Gueye. The former Olympique de Marseille player achieved an unprecedented record in the Spanish league last night. With last night’s dismissal, it became the player’s fourth in the Spanish league with just twenty games in the Spanish competition. There is no precedent in this regard.
Three of them happened in its previous phase in our country. Specifically during the 2022-2023 season when he was loaned in the winter market to Sevilla by the Marseille club. Gueye made his debut on matchday 20 against Barcelona on 5 February 2023. He played a total of 16 games that season with the Sevillian club and was sent off three times.
The first time was for a double yellow on matchday 24 against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitan Stadium. He then saw the first in the 25th minute and the second in the 80th minute A sending off that ruled him out the next day at home against Almería.
Two red cards before minute 20
The second sending off, also for a double yellow, took place on the 28th of matchday against Celta at Sánchez Pijuan. The first yellow came after 6 minutes and the second just thirteen minutes later. Gueye was sent off 19 minutes into the game. Sanction for a match that prevented him exactly against Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium. A third dismissal in a Sevilla shirt was for a straight red card against Elche on the penultimate league matchday of that season with just 18 minutes left in the game. He again left the team with fewer players for most of the match. Gueye could not play in Sánchez Pijuan in the penultimate matchday against Real Madrid.
Last night’s sending off, Villarreal’s first and after the first four days, came in the 68th minute for a double yellow and after being reprimanded 50 minutes into the game. Expulsion that will prevent him from the next match against Mallorca. This is his third yellow card this season as he already received another yellow card against Celta in the previous game five minutes before the end of the match.
