Total outrage at Real Madrid after Barça-Valencia: 'If what happened with Dean Huijsen...'

The match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad left one of the most talked-about controversies at the start of the league. Dean Huijsen's action, which ended with his direct expulsion, marked the development of the match. The young center-back was forced to stop Oyarzabal as the last man, and the referee of the match, Gil Manzano, didn't hesitate to show him the red card.

Indignation is total at the white club. They believe the decision was disproportionate and that, at worst, the play deserved a yellow card. Xabi Alonso spoke with the referee at the end of the match, but the reasons given didn't convince the coach, who left the stadium visibly upset.

Dean Huijsen's incident repeats in Barça-Valencia, but...

Madridist indignation grew even more just 24 hours later, when the clash between Barça and Valencia took place. In the sixth minute of the match, Eric Garcíaclearly pushed a rival striker as the last man. A very similar action to Dean Huijsen's, but with a completely different outcome.

The referee not only refrained from showing the red card, but didn't even call the foul. The play went unpunished, fueling the anger of the white club's directors, who see a clear double standard in Spanish refereeing. For Real Madrid, it's incomprehensible that two similar actions are judged so unequally.

Real Madrid's message

The merengue club hasn't issued an official statement, but internal leaks make their feelings clear: "If Dean Huijsen's is a red, Eric García's should be too." At Real Madrid, they clearly feel harmed, although they'll wait until Thursday to hear the CTA's explanations about Dean Huijsen's expulsion.

Xabi Alonso, meanwhile, couldn't hide his discontent at the end of the match. He acknowledged that he had spoken with Gil Manzano, but that he hadn't been convinced by his explanations. This is understandable, since CTA itself has admitted that the play was poorly refereed.

Meanwhile, fans have multiplied their criticism on social media, comparing both plays and denouncing what they consider a clear grievance. Dean Huijsen's expulsion and Eric García's impunity have put refereeing consistency at the center of the debate.

Real Madrid hopes these situations won't be repeated, but the truth is that the episode has left its mark. The controversy is on, and the debate about refereeing justice in LaLiga is once again front-page news.
