The match with Valencia will also be remembered for the terrible injury of the defender. It’s even scary to look at.
As İdman.biz reports with reference to the “Championship”, one of the most incredible matches of the season happened in the Spanish Championship. The game could easily have ended in a victory for either team, but it ended in a draw. And unrealistically scandalous.
Spain – Primera. 27th round
March 02, 2024, Saturday. 00:00 Moscow time
Valencia – Real Madrid – 2:2
1:0 Duro – 27′ 2:0 Yaremchuk – 30′ 2:1 Vinicius Junior – 45+5′ 2:2 Vinicius Junior – 76′
Deletions: none / Bellingham – 90+10′
Although at the beginning of the match, more events took place not on the field, but in the stands. Valencia fans brought thousands of yellow posters with them. So the fans continue to strike against the Singaporean club owner Peter Lim (we wrote about the reasons for the discontent in this article).
And Valencia fans furiously booed Vinicius every time he touched the ball. And especially when he emotionally demanded a penalty. Last season, the match between these teams at Mestalla ended in scandal. The Brazilian even said that Spain is a country of racists. Now the conflict between Valencia fans and a particular football player has reached its peak. According to Okko Sport commentator Denis Alkhazov, who was in Valencia, he had never heard such a loud whistle in the stadium in his life.
If in the first 25 minutes there were practically no dangerous moments, then Valencia scored twice in four minutes! At first, the hosts were a little lucky, because Perez unsuccessfully shot at goal from an awkward situation, and the assist went to Duro. And then Carvajal made a gross mistake, giving a too risky pass to the goalkeeper. As a result, Yaremchuk entered the empty net and scored one of the simplest goals in his career.
Right before the break, Real still pulled one goal back. Carvajal’s cross turned out to be dangerous because it ricocheted off a defender. As a result, it was Vinicius who hit the empty goal. Celebrating the goal, the striker turned to the Valencia fan section and raised his fist in the air. If it weren’t for this goal, we could say that this was Real Madrid’s worst half this season.
After the break, the audience saw a fundamentally different Real Madrid. The guests attacked Valencia’s goal so much that both Vinicius and Bellingham had great chances. The hosts sometimes simply kicked the ball away. True, we managed to cope with this onslaught at the beginning of the second half. After Valencia held out, it already had its chances. For example, in the 60th minute, Lunin actually had to resist a point-blank shot from Lopez.
Immediately after this, Ancelotti sent Modric and Brahim Diaz onto the field, but Real didn’t seem to have any added advantage in the game. In the 72nd minute, an event happened that pleased the local fans almost like the Valencia goal – Vinicius received a yellow card. However, then the guests still equalized the score. And Vinicius did it again, and with his head. After which the Brazilian, of course, began pointing to the fans his T-shirt and his tongue.
And at the 86th minute a terrible episode happened. After the duel, Tchuameni landed on Diakabi’s leg, which twisted. The players of both teams immediately grabbed their heads. Three minutes later, the defender was carried off the field on a stretcher to the applause of the stands.
Be warned: the injury photo is not for the faint of heart.
When play continued, Valencia were awarded a penalty. More precisely, this was done by Duro, whose shot on goal was missed. True, VAR told the chief referee that the Real players did not break the rules and were even first on the ball. Then Peter Federico could become the hero of the match – this Real Madrid graduate almost scored the winning goal for Valencia, but the ball went over the far corner.
It all ended with the scandalous decision of chief judge Jesus Gil Manzano. He managed to whistle for the end of the match, either when Bellingham hit the goal from five meters, or when Jude was crossed from the flank. And the ball flew into the goal! But it was not counted. In any case, this is an extremely controversial decision of the arbitrator. It’s hard to remember any match when they weren’t allowed to finish the attack at such a stage. A showdown began on the field, and the referee had to fight back, and Bellingham received a red card. An amazing match that will be discussed for a long time.
