The referee who did not give Ukraine a penalty in the match with Italy has been suspended - media
Manzano was punished in Spain
Spanish football referee Jesús Gil Manzano will be suspended from the upcoming matches of the national championship and continental tournaments. The reason was the scandal surrounding the match between Valencia and Real Madrid, which took place last Saturday at the Mestalla Stadium.
This is reported by AS. With the score tied 2-2, Manzano blew the final whistle during the Madrid team's attack, and a split second after the referee's signal, the ball ended up in the home team's net.
This episode provoked incredible outrage among Real Madrid players. In particular, the Englishman Jude Bellingham attacked the referee with insults and received a red card. Now the legionnaire of the "royal club" can face serious punishment.
Manzano, who denied Ukraine an obvious penalty in the match against Italy in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, has privately admitted his mistake. At the same time, he intends to continue his career and is ready to cope with a suspension for several weeks.
This season, the Spanish referee has officiated two Champions League matches, and on February 22, he worked the Europa League match between Roma and Feyenoord, in which the Italians won a penalty shootout and reached the last 16 of the tournament.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, Ukrainian national team striker Roman Yaremchuk scored a goal against his compatriot Andriy Lunin in the Spanish championship. Valencia fans gave our footballer a standing ovation.
