“Nothing new at the Bernabéu,” Atleti responded on Twitter after a game in which they again had 10 men.
Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid met in the second round of 2022-23 La Liga at the Santiago Bernabéu. The capital derbies are always controversial, and this Saturday had a great one: the exclusion of Ángel Correa in the second half, with a 0-0 result.
An action that had repercussions in the microphones, as it unleashed the outrage of an Atleti who made all their anger public to the media after ending another derby with one less player on the pitch. From Atlético’s Twitter account to Diego Simeone, via Savic or Oblak, there were not a few who showed their discomfort at that particular game.
Next, we look at the controversies of the meeting…
ALL ABOUT THE REAL MADRID VS. ATLÉTICO MADRID OF THE LEAGUE 2022-2023
The arbitration controversies of the Real Madrid vs. Atlético Madrid of La Liga 2022-2023 with referee Gil Manzano
Valverde’s hand… it comes off a rebound
About five minutes into the first half, the ball hit Fede Valverde’s hand in the Courtois area. Gil Manzano says there is no penalty and he is right: the leather hits the Uruguayan’s hand because it came from a rebound on his foot.
Correa’s controversial eviction
About 64 minutes into the game, the big controversy of the afternoon: Ángel Correa sees the direct red card. Gil Manzano is suspending the Argentine footballer for letting go of his arm in an incident with Antonio Rüdiger when the ball was no longer in question, although it was no incentive for the Atleti ’10’ to go to the showers early. The VAR does not call the referee and the visitors have one man less. The German from Madrid exaggerated the action and received an award. Simeone complained.
After the game, Atlético de Madrid’s official Twitter account wrote a message that may have been dedicated to that action that ended with the red card for Correa: “Nothing new at the Bernabéu.”
“The question is the intensity. Gil Manzano believes he hits an elbow and for him it is red. The VAR does not come in because he already assesses the game, sees an elbow and finds sufficient intensity,” said former referee Eduardo Iturralde. about the play in his intervention in Carrusel Deportivo.
Finally, from the Atleti Twitter account, they relaunched a post on the social network. “This is the leg of our ‘aggressor’. We continue without news at the Bernabéu,” the text read, accompanied by an image showing Correa’s leg and two wounds showing blood.
Simeone asks “all to compete in the same way”
Savic: “I don’t know why, it always happens”
“Today it couldn’t draw, again, I don’t know why, but it always happens…”, Savic told DAZN after the match.
Griezmann, on Twitter: “That’s it!”
Oblak’s crack
“Every time we play against Real Madrid, someone gets sent off. Maybe in the next one Derby we immediately started the game with one less player,” said the Slovenian Atleti goalkeeper.
