Real Madrid secured a 2-1 away victory over Deportivo Alavés in La Liga Matchday 16.
In the final stages of Real Madrid’s match against Alavés, a controversial incident occurred: Vinícius fell inside the opponent’s penalty area, yet the referee did not award a penalty. On Real Madrid TV’s live broadcast, multiple guests launched a fierce attack on this decision.
Real Madrid TV’s Remarks
A reminder to Real Madrid TV viewers: The problem does not lie with Real Madrid TV’s footage. No, those unfair individuals will neither watch these videos nor listen to the related comments. They will also see the so-called claim that "the intensity of the foul was insufficient," with former referees joining in... They clearly have specific vested interests. They will try to make people believe the issue is the lack of foul intensity, just like what happened to Rodrygo before. But this is a complete lie, a false claim. For a trip foul, there is no need to assess the so-called "intensity" at all. Because when you stick your leg in front of a running person, even without any "force," the opponent’s own running speed – like Rodrygo’s speed before, or Vinícius’ speed in this rapid breakthrough – will inevitably cause them to fall.
If you paid attention to the broadcast footage, when the camera panned to the referee, he said to Real Madrid captain Valverde: "Come here, come here, let me explain. For me, this isn’t enough (to be a foul)."
Our interpretation of this is as follows: Things are far from that simple. These people are twisting the facts, because they have actually admitted the existence of the foul – that the foul did occur, and a penalty should have been awarded. But now they are looking for another argument and reason to shirk the responsibility of not awarding the penalty. That reason is "intensity," which is incredible. I don’t even want to call these people who work as referees "referees" anymore; they are just running around on the pitch.
For a running person, it doesn’t take much force to cause a fall. All of us here have run and still run. When you’re running, even if someone throws a small stone that hits your big toe on the supporting foot, you will fall. So all of this is false, all lies, excuses to shirk responsibility again – shirking the responsibility for a serious injustice and a huge anomaly. Because what we just witnessed is not a human error, it’s no mistake at all; the footage can prove everything. It has another name, and it’s not "human error." There is no human error here; there is a clear, extremely definite decision not to award the penalty, because González Fuertes didn’t want to, because García didn’t want to.
Its name is the disgraceful "Negreira League," and it’s still the Negreira gang causing trouble. Why did Xabi Alonso say he wasn’t surprised? Because in the previous match between Girona and Real Madrid, Rodrygo was fouled but nothing was called. When playing against Real Madrid at the Vallecas Stadium, Bellingham and Bapho were fouled, but Mr. Soto fabricated those pulling actions out of thin air and still didn’t call anything. Real Madrid didn’t play well that day, but even so, against Celta, Borja Iglesias’ obvious elbow on Bellingham was completely unseen by the referee. By the way, in that match, Real Madrid only committed 6 fouls but received 6 yellow cards and 3 red cards. Also, in the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Lamine Yamal tripped Vinícius. Fortunately, Real Madrid won in the end, but the referee still didn’t see that trip foul by Lamine Yamal inside the penalty area.
