As expected, Jesús Gil Manzano's performance in what was his third Clásico in LaLiga ended up being decided in favor of Real Madri with some controversy in favor of the whites. On Saturday, the referee 'passed' a clear penalty on Ronald Araújo

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona fell in the first Classical official of the season in front of the Real Madrid (1-2) in a party that went him of the hands in the last half hour of game. Further of the evident bajón of the FC Barcelona in the final stretch, the party remained conditioned by a clear penalti no sanctioned after an agarrón inside the area of Aurélien Tchouaméni on Ronald Araújo that would have supposed the 2-0 transitory and a possible sentence for the whites.

The action between the Frenchman and the 'charrúa' produced before the end of the first part, when the Barça had against the ropes to a totally disordered and barren Madrid in attack. The more reprochable is that the VAR have not reviewed the played, by which the referee extremeño left to follow with total impunity. Afterwards, the visitors demanded some fault of the central Uruguayan on Eduardo Camavinga where neither sanctioned at all.

Gil Manzano could not 'fail him' to the Real Madrid

The designation of Gil Manzano arrived after the inagotables 'lloros' of the Madrid in his television channel, 'RMTV' and the bet could not go out him better to the ones of Carlo Ancelotti. For the judge of Extremadura, went his third Classical of League with plenary of victories for the 'White House'. The first arrived in 2014 in the Bernabéu (3-1) and the last with the referee in field arrived in 2021 in the Gave Stéfano (2-1).

The referee of 39 years has the record to be the only referee in expelling to Leo Messi to level of clubs (did it during the Barça-Athletic of the final of the Supercopa Spanish 2020) and, besides, between 2016 and 2020 also gave the luxury to throw to the street to Luis Suárez, Neymar Jr. And Robert Lewandowski. The Saturday there were not expulsions, but did not do fault to give a hand to the club of the cual is fanatical confeso.

The reaction of Araújo after the penalti no sanctioned

"I did not see the played but in the moment seemed me that it was penalti. I go to the ball to try finish and he pushes me for backwards. If it does not push me I can touch it to the first stick. I am for jumping and pushes me for backwards. I think that is penalti, or at least to review it, but is a decision of the referees and it is necessary to follow, sentenced the one of Rivera. Certainly, the infringement of Tchouaméni was clear and adds to the list of controversies where Gil Manzano, in front of the doubt, prefers titar in favour of the 'White House'.
