Real Madrid dominated the match against Celta de Vigo for a long time, but still gave themselves a scare at the end of the match. In the last quarter of an hour of the match, the Madrilenians saw the Galicians come back to two goals everywhere. Which then pushed Carlo Ancelotti’s men into overtime. During the match, incidents of play occurred, notably during Madrid’s opening score after consultation of the VAR by the central referee.
In a press conference after the match, Celta Vigo coach Claudio Giráldez returned to the decision to grant the first Madrid goal scored by Kylian Mbappé. “It’s decisive, it’s clear, I’m going to try, as I said the other day, not to talk about the referees”.
The Spanish technician explains that he does not understand the use of video assistance. “I’m a young coach, I’ve been in La Liga for less than a year and I need to train to see how VAR works because I don’t completely understand it,” he indicates.
While continuing to analyze the refereeing, Claudio Giráldez expresses his satisfaction with his players’ match. “It is true that they are professional referees and I blame myself for having lacked training and I have to learn the use of VAR, I have to train. The referee doesn’t need to say much today if the VAR doesn’t tell him to review the action.” says the 36-year-old coach.
-“We overcame almost every moment of the match and I am proud of the players and fans who came to see us. In a short time we will play against Athletic “, concluded Giraldez. Celta de Vigo must now focus on the championship while Real Madrid will have to wait until Monday to know their future opponent in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.
