"This is a scandal, this is a disgrace, that sums up this action. It's a clear yellow card offense, it's blatant, but if we remember what happened in Pamplona we can understand this and why VAR didn't call him."
"We're doing this to denounce the fact that this can never be a red card, it's a textbook yellow. Baena touches the ball, moves it away, and that's why Valverde doesn't touch it."
"I'm sure he'll justify this action and say that both the referee and the VAR official were right. This can't be; a player shouldn't be sent off for this."
The actions during the match are described as scandalous and disgraceful, with a clear distinction made between a yellow and red card offense. Baena's touch on the ball is emphasized, indicating that Valverde's inability to reach it does not warrant a sending off. There is skepticism about the justification from referees and VAR officials, suggesting that the narrative around intensity and ball presence is misleading. The focus remains on the implications for Real Madrid rather than the match itself.
