Seville and Bernabeu: the eternal dispute

Did Rudiger affect the ground clearance? What led to Modric’s goal in Real Madrid’s win over Sevilla? Nervione thinks so. Antonito, a former footballer who regularly commentates on matches on the club’s official television, Nervion, was clear after the match at the Bernabeu: “Well, one more little thing at the Bernabeu.” Keep making videos that they are doing very well. For me it’s offside because Rudiger ultimately influences the defense because he’s in line with the ball when it’s snapped.”

The former Sevilla striker has also been charged. against substitute Diaz de Mer, who, in his opinion, is not of sufficient level to lead such a meeting. The change of referee after an injury to a player in the starting lineup and the game that decided the outcome of the match became another step in history. long history of arbitration disputes This puts Sevilla on the same level as their last 17 away matches against Madrid since their last win in December 2008. They lost 16 and drew only one.

One of the most famous episodes occurred in January 2020, when Monchi even threatened to “remove” the team from the field after Sevilla disallowed Luuk de Jong’s goal due to Gudel’s “blocking” of Militao: “The action happened. saw.

If the second goal is disallowed, I will still go on the field and take the team out of the game.”. Var entered the game, which Martinez Munuera decided to cancel.

Almost two years later, Sevilla’s then sporting director raised his voice again after The Fall of Lucas Ocampos in the Madrid area, which did not lead to punishment: “There is a trip. It’s a penalty and that’s it. “I won’t go away angry because this is nothing new” Monchi then stated.

But the step that most outraged the Sevilleites all these years, despite its absurdity, was taken much earlier. in 2017 and at the Copa del Rey. It didn’t exist yet VAR which then should have entered without any doubt: push from James to Modric in the Seville zone, causing the Croatian to fall without the intervention of any of the Sevilla players, but Mateu Laois awarded a penalty. James himself converted to make it 1-0, and Sevilla eventually lost 3-0 after two more controversial plays, but still with a short result: a possible goal. Mora’s absence from the Mercado and the capture of Iborra, both inside Madrid area.
