The excuses of Real Madrid after their ridicule against Levante

This Saturday in the afternoon, the Real Madrid fell estrepitosamente against the Raise UD (1-2) in a meeting that moves away a lot to the group of Zinedine Zidane of the fight by LaLiga Santander, that at present leads the Athletic of Madrid with seven points of advantage with regard to the whites in spite of having played two parties less. The madridistas played a bad party and looked for excuses, especially in the referee's decisions.

Thibaut Courtois

In the first place, Thibaut Courtois, on foot of field, considered that the initial action of Eder Militao would not owe to having supposed the red cardboard, in addition to leaving in entredicho if the penalti of vinicius was out of the area. "Of here it is difficult to see. The first played, the red of Militao, is interpretable and no do not think that was for red. I think that it tries it remove. I do not think that it do it wanting to. It is interpretation. Here it was one shouted that it was was", signalled.

Thibaut Courtois also regretted that the party put very slope up with the expulsion of Eder Militao. "It has taken out the red after 8 minutes and from here the party is complicated. We have struggled. We have had any to the against but have not done it. A penalty fit a goal of corner. Afterwards it has played very little. Of the four of addition has played one. The extra time no voucher for nothing", complained the goalkeeper.

Emilio Butragueño

The director of institutional relations of the Real Madrid, Emilio Butragueño, was quite absurd when commenting the action of the penalti of Vinicius. "We understand that the fault of Vinicius commits out of the area and that, therefore, is not penalti. It calls us the attention that the referee do not attend to the screen of the VAR in this so delicate situation that at the end has finished us for costing a penalti", said, without taking into account that the task to interpret if the action was inside or was was of the VAR and no of the referee.

On the other hand, Emilio Butragueño did not want to give by stray LaLiga Santander​ in spite of that the Athletic of Madrid has the opportunity to take out him ten points of advantage to the Real Madrid this Sunday if it wins his party. "It is true that it is a defeat complicated but we can not leave to struggle because that is the DNA of the Real Madrid, struggle to the end", commented.

David Bettoni

The second trainer of the Real Madrid, David Bettoni, went again the attendant to direct to the team in absence of Zinedine Zidane, that is still in quarantine by coronavirus. However, it did not want to polemizar with the referee's actions as yes they did it Butragueño or Courtois. "As always, we do not go to think. It happened like this and we do not have at all that say. I want to stand out our game, that has been complicated when remaining us with ten. The Real Madrid showed to have character and a lot of pride", said.

On the other hand, the assistant of Zinedine Zidane recognised that the expulsion of Eder Militao did a lot damage to the plans of the team. "The expulsion of Militao put us the party very slope up and with the tie, the Raise put us a poquito down. In the second part carry out a high pressure and had some occasion, but find us with a good rival", sentenced.
