Dark evening for a man in red.
This Saturday, Rayo and Real Madrid fought a fierce battle (as often) in Vallecas (3-3) for the 17e La Liga day. In addition to this spectacular draw, it was above all the performance of the referee, Mr. José Luis Munuera Montero, which caused talk. Indeed, the man with the whistle was not necessarily in his best shape – for both teams, it is always useful to remember this – which did not fail to annoy the contingent merenguedenouncing “a manipulation of the course of the competition” via his television channel. The breaking point? Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian was thus warned at the 74e minute for protest, just moments after coming into play and will be suspended for the next match against Sevilla. In the process, the winger was also denied a penaltyfollowing an uncontrolled intervention by Khalid Abdul Mumin, scorer in this match.

Rayo coach admits there was a penalty
Asked about this penalty story at a press conference, Iñigo Pérez, Rayo coach, was honest: « Moomin punches Vinícius… We reviewed the images on our video monitor with my assistant and for us, the referee could have whistled. But hey, in this kind of action, it’s often interpretation. » Not enough to make Real Madrid angry, which reserves the right to file a complaint with the arbitration committee.
Florentino Pérez will therefore put on the godfather costume again.
