An incident between Arda Güler and Peque during Real Madrid's match against Sevilla has become a hot topic in Spain. The Catalan newspaper Sport harshly criticized referee Mateo Busquets Ferrer for not showing a red card to Arda Güler following contact that occurred away from the ball.
The newspaper pointed out the significance of the incident ahead of El Clasico, writing that if Arda Güler had received a red card, he might not have been able to play in the Barcelona match. The report alleged that the Turkish footballer struck Peque with an elbow to the area between his neck and face.
According to Sport, the ball was in another part of the pitch during the incident, and the referee was far from the play. Despite this, it was noted that VAR did not call the referee to the monitor for a review. It was stated that while Peque remained on the ground after the incident, the referee did not take disciplinary action against Arda Güler.
"WILL BE REMEMBERED WITH QUESTION MARKS"
The fact that Arda Güler scored the first goal of the match also contributed to the growth of the controversy. The Catalan newspaper argued that this goal "will be remembered with question marks," claiming that the player should not have remained on the pitch following the incident in the 24th minute.
The report also noted that Felix and Dean Huijsen were penalized for the tension that followed the incident, but the main debate continues to center on Arda Güler not receiving a card. It was also reported that chants against Negreira, Barcelona, and Tebas were heard from the Santiago Bernabeu stands during the match.
