Arda Güler, who scored in the match where Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-1, also became a topic of discussion due to a controversial incident. The Sevilla side, arguing that the national team player should have received a red card, reacted sharply to VAR's failure to intervene. Jose Mourinho, however, stated that he did not watch the footage of the incident and did not want to get involved in the debate.
In Spain's La Liga, after the match in which Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-1, the incident between Arda Güler and Peque sparked debate. The Sevilla side, arguing that the national-team player should have been punished with a red card, reacted against the refereeing and VAR decisions.
HARSH REACTION TO REFEREE FROM SEVILLA SIDE
Sevilla right-back Juan Iglesias, in his statement after the match, argued that the referee decisions affected the outcome of the game.
Iglesias said, "The referees' decisions determined the fate of the match. Arda Güler fouled Peque in the first half. And before the 2-0 goal, there was a foul by Konate on Robbie Ure."
"WHY AREN'T THEY CALLING HIM FROM VAR?"
Sevilla head coach Luis Garcia Plaza also criticized VAR's failure to intervene in the incident involving Arda Güler. The Spanish coach reacted to the referee's decision, saying, "Why aren't they calling him from VAR? Maybe it is so that they don't go to El Clasico with a nine-point lead." While Garcia Plaza argued that the incident should be reviewed, he stated that they experienced great anger after the match.
MOURINHO: I DON'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE IMAGE
Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho, meanwhile, gave a cautious answer to the Arda Güler question directed at him after the match. The Portuguese coach said, "I want to avoid this question, which is a big topic of debate for you. No one could show me what they claim happened; I don't even have a single image." Mourinho, stating that he did not see the incident, avoided making a direct assessment of the referee's decision.
ARDA GÜLER ALSO STOOD OUT WITH HIS GOAL
Arda Güler, at the center of the debates, also became one of the standout names of the match with the goal he scored against Sevilla. While the national-team player's performance contributed to Real Madrid's 4-1 victory, the red-card debates came to the fore after the match.
