Real Madrid's Celta Loss Marred by Three Red Cards as Xabi Alonso Criticizes Referee

The referee’s report details expulsions plus a tunnel remark that now move to disciplinary review.

Overview

  • Fran García was dismissed for two quick bookings, Álvaro Carreras was sent off after telling the referee “Eres malísimo” as recorded in the acta, and Endrick received a direct red for leaving the bench to protest.
  • Dani Carvajal’s tunnel comment to the referee, transcribed in the acta, could bring sanction, though his ongoing injury limits the immediate sporting impact.
  • Broadcast footage showed Real Madrid delegate Carlos Megía Dávila confronting the match official on the Bernabéu pitch after the final whistle.
  • Éder Militão exited around the 20th minute with a suspected severe muscular injury that may involve the tendon, with diagnostic tests scheduled for Monday to determine the extent.
  • Xabi Alonso said refereeing decisions “drove us crazy,” framed the setback as “only three points,” and pointed to Wednesday’s Champions League match against Manchester City as the team’s next response.
