Zidane Comments on Real Madrid’s Penalty In 3 Consecutive Matches

DBasia.news – After Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Alaves on Saturday (11/7), questions were raised regarding the penalty they got. The question arose after Los Blancos was awarded a penalty kick in the last three matches.

Jesus Gil as the referee in charge of giving Madrid a penalty when the game only run ten minutes. Alaves defender, Ximo Navarro was considered fouling Ferland Mendy.

This decision invited controversy as the replay showed the clash of the two players was minimal and smelled like a diving. The incident also occurred around the penalty box line so that it could just be a free kick.

Naturally, if there are many italics in this regard. Madrid accused of often getting help from referees so they can top the standings.

Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane did not want to stay silent related to those accusations. He considered not having the power to influence the referee’s decision.

“If it’s a penalty, it means it’s a penalty. I saw the game and it was a good move from Ferland (Mendy),” Zidane said on the club’s official website.

“His contribution in the attack line is very important. I don’t care about the rest because the important thing is to keep scoring goals no matter what.”

Throughout the season, Madrid has received ten penalties and all of them were converted into goals. Four of them were given by referees after LaLiga started rolling back after the pandemic.

Although accompanied by slanted accusations, Madrid are now closer to locking up the LaLiga title. They only need to win two more matches to end the title race with Barcelona.
