The Real Madrid expedition left Vallecas after the draw against Rayo with anger at the refereeing done by Martínez Munuera, especially for an alleged penalty by Mumin on Vinicius that was not pointed out by the referee or the VAR. The first to raise his voice was Carlo Ancelotti in a press conference. “The penalty seems to me, seeing it repeatedly, very clear,” said the Italian, who however did not want to analyze the Brazilian’s protests.
Real Madrid’s website went ahead and headlined the match report with a strong: “Controversial referee hinders Madrid’s victory.” “Real Madrid tied Vallecas in a match they could have won had Martínez Munuera awarded Mumin’s penalty to Vini Jr. in the 75th minute,” the website’s narrative began.
“In the 75th minute came the most controversial play of the match. Vini Jr. was clearly brought down inside the area by Mumin, but Martínez Munuera did not call a penalty and neither did González Fuertes warn him, the VAR referee,” complained the website.
The white club’s television, as usual, came out very violently against some decisions of the Valencian coach, a usual suspect in the videos made by the white club in its campaign of harassment and demolition against the referee group.
Madrid players protested several decisions, especially after Martínez Munuera did not show two yellow cards to two Rayo players for two fouls that prevented the whites from counter-attacking.
