1 week agoReal Madrid TV in fresh referee blast after Fede Valverde red card
The incident involving Valverde and Baena is viewed as a clear yellow card offense, not deserving of a red card.
In the end, fair play is when a player is on the ground and you kick the ball out of play. We did it once, maybe twice, and at that moment Lamine was lying on the ground, I expected that from the opponent, and that's what I told him.
He picked up two back-to-back yellow cards in quick succession, which would mean that the Barcelona manager will not be available at the touchline when the Catalans take on Real Madrid next weekend. This comes as a huge blow for Barcelona, especially at a time when Flick's tactical expertise and ability to motivate players could be useful against Real Madrid.
