The colchoneros claimed to be deprived of the Red Cora in the derby at Real. Oblek: "In every game against them, someone is sent away for us", Simeone scolded: "It's lucky that there is VAR". Past judges are divided


Summary: Real Madrid - Al Hilal 3:5 (Sport1)

Atlético Madrid were only concerned with one thing after the 1:1 draw at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid this evening (Saturday): the refereeing.

Even before taking the lead from a goal by Jose Maria Jimenez and conceding the equalizer from the head of Albero Rodrigues, the Colchoneros were left with 10 men following a straight red card issued in the 64th minute to Angel Correa, who hit Antonio Rudiger without the ball.



Rudiger easily caught Cora as he tried to break free to receive a ball, and elbowed the German, though it didn't seem too hard.

But the brakeman's fall bought the referee Khil Mansano, who sent the Argentinian to an early shower about 20 minutes after coming on as a substitute.

In Atlético Madrid, as mentioned, they did not remain indifferent.

The club's Twitter account tweeted: "Nothing new at the Bernabeu", and after the game a photo of Cora's bloody leg appeared on the page, with the caption "This is what our 'attacker's' leg looks like".

Also in the previous derby, an Atlético player was sent off against Real, when then the red card was drawn against Mario Hermoso.

The previous instance in which the red-whites suffered two dismissals in the derby in the same season was in 1995/96.

All the last five red cards drawn in the meeting between the teams in the league were due to the Colchoneros, and even in the cup derby held a month ago, Stefan Savic was sent off.

When he appeared in front of the cameras at the end, the goalkeeper Jan Oblek really didn't keep his stomach down: "Every time we play against Real Madrid, we get someone away from us. Maybe in the next derby we'll just start with one less player."

Savich also criticized: "Today it was not possible to have an equal game, again, I don't know why, but it always happens."



"I can't clarify what is meant by the club's message," coach Diego Simeone replied when asked about Atletico's tweet, "I'm saying what I saw. We overcame Reinaldo's injury and a red that the referee could have interpreted that way, and also the VAR. The blow was not strong that would justify expulsion. Rudiger stood up immediately. It hurt him, there was contact, up to a certain limit. You see for yourself, there are very clear things."



Cholo, who became the most games as a coach in the history of the Spanish league when he stood on the lines for the 425th time, and equaled Luis Aragones as the coach who guided Altico Madrid the most times in an official match (612), was asked if he thinks the league is clean when it comes to refereeing, this against the background of the accusations against Barcelona in recent times: "I believe in people who work. There is the VAR that will provide additional help. I understand that mistakes happen, but it is lucky to have the VAR, great luck," Simeone scolded.

The referees of the past in Spain were divided in their opinions about the red.

Alfonso Perez Borrol said: "The referee exaggerated by drawing cards throughout the game, and also in the case of the red. The Atletico player reached out and hit Rudiger, but the referee exaggerated his reaction. In no way did this justify Cora's expulsion."

On the other hand, Itoralda Gonzalez claimed: "It's a matter of strength. Heil Mansano thought he elbowed him and as far as he's concerned it's a red. The VAR didn't intervene because the referee caught the move, saw an elbow and thought it was strong enough."



In another matter, Atlético Madrid officially announced that left back Reinaldo, who was injured and was taken on a stretcher in the 23rd minute, has a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
