Vinicius Vs Lewandowski: Arbitration double standards?

Vinicius Jr he sneered at the fourth referee during the game against Alavés, when he realized that he had added six minutes to the game. Real Madrid had just taken a 3-2 lead and the players were waiting for the end of the game at that moment. The mockery of the Brazilian striker did not end there. He continued to go to the bench shouting “He’s crazy, he’s crazy!”, as Chendo grabbed him by the arm and dragged him off the field, knowing that another yellow card would rule him out of the derby match at Atlético de Madrid next Sunday.

The unfortunate event occurred in the 89th minute, when Ancelotti decided to replace him. He was about to leave the field to the bench when he saw the fourth referee show the 6-minute extension sign, with the game stopped and all the television cameras focused on him. He then began to laugh boisterously and with an obvious hint of sarcasm. This apparent disregard was not condoned or recorded in the minutes. Vinicius left without any problems and will be able to play the Metropolitano match without any problems.

The Barça striker is even worse Lewandowski in November 2022. The Polish striker was punished by the Competition Committee for a total of three games, one for expulsion for a double yellow and two for “disregard or inconsideration” to referee Gil Manzanowhile walking towards the tunnel of the locker room he made a gesture touching his nose.

Lewandowski He then missed the Liga matches against Atlético de Madrid at Civitas Metropolitano, the home duel against Getafe and the trip to Girona. He was able to play the derby against Español because he filed an appeal which, although unsuccessful, granted him precautionary relief.

What seems clear is that it is “inconsiderate or contempt for the referee” to make a gesture of touching your nose (after being sent off) but not to laugh in the referee’s face in an abusive tone, shouting at him that he is crazy. .
