Sevilla Coach Criticizes Referee After Loss to Real Madrid

Sevilla's Luis Garcia Plaza expressed frustration over Arda Güler's non-red card incident during their 4-1 defeat to Real Madrid, suggesting it influenced the title race.

Sevilla faced a disappointing 4-1 defeat against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, leading to frustration from their coach, Luis Garcia Plaza. He claimed that Arda Güler should have received a red card for elbowing Peque Fernandez, an incident that went unnoticed by the referee and VAR.

The match saw Madrid move within six points of Barcelona in the title race, with Güler scoring the opening goal shortly after the controversial incident. Kylian Mbappe contributed two goals, while Yan Diomande added another for Madrid. Manu Bueno scored a consolation goal for Sevilla.

Garcia Plaza highlighted the impact of the officiating on the game, suggesting that Sevilla was deprived of a fair chance to compete. He questioned the VAR's decision-making, implying that the stakes of the upcoming Clasico influenced the lack of intervention. This incident follows similar complaints from other teams regarding officiating in La Liga.
