Spanish Refereeing Body Reportedly Admits Errors in Madrid Derby
Spain’s Technical Committee of Referees reportedly found that Atlético Madrid players Cuti Romero and Kang-in Lee should have been sent off during the Madrid derby. The review said Romero’s challenge on Jude Bellingham and Lee’s tackle on Federico Valverde warranted straight red cards. Both incidents occurred in the first half. However, the committee reportedly upheld the dismissal of Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen for denying Giuliano Simeone a clear goalscoring opportunity. The decisions have renewed debate over VAR and referee appointments in major Spanish fixtures.
