The referee stripped Bellingham of his goal and forgot to bring his card in a Europa League match

Referee Gil Manzano was "exposed" that he had made serious mistakes recently when holding the whistle in big matches.

Why did Jude Bellingham receive a red card against Valencia?

Real both lost people and points with the referee's confusing decision

On the evening of March 2, Real Madrid drew with Valencia with a score of 2-2. This was the match in which Jude Bellingham's goal was disallowed by referee Gil Manzano. The reason is because he blew the whistle for timeout while the situation was happening.

Real Madrid players are very dissatisfied. They approached the referee to express their anger. Bellingham protested fiercely to the referee and received a red card. That means the England midfielder will miss next weekend's match against Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The referee gave Bellingham a red card when he reacted

Immediately after this controversial decision, Mr. Gil Manzano received criticism from the press and fans. Many people pointed out that he tried to blow the whistle early because the time had reached the 9th minute of extra time, while previously he announced there were only 7 minutes of extra time. However, these reasons are considered unconvincing.

Recently, people also pointed out that Mr. Gil Manzano even forgot to bring his card to the European Cup match. Specifically, when AS Roma and Feyenoord met a week ago at the European Cup Winners' Cup, Mr. Gil Manzano discovered he did not have his card with him when he arrived at the stadium, causing the parties to frantically find a solution.

The match AS Roma and Feyenoord ended with a score of 1-1. In the end, the two teams tied 2-2 after 2 rounds and AS Roma was the team that advanced after winning 4-2 on penalties. This competition still took place on time because the parties later found Mr. Manzano a new set of cards.
