Getafe’s squad was deeply upset following their 1-0 loss at home against Real Madrid on Sunday.

Match Overview

Player Reactions

Adrián Liso’s Frustration

Adrián Liso voiced his discontent as he exited the stadium, stating, “He wouldn’t speak to us or check the VAR; it’s strange he doesn’t even look at it.”

Kiko Femenía’s Disappointment

Kiko Femenía also shared his dissatisfaction, commenting, “I received a booking for an absurd reason, which impacted my performance. Nyom’s challenge should have resulted in a yellow card, not a red. Every decision seemed to favor them. The referees are unwavering in their opinions.”

After the match, the sentiments among the players highlighted a widespread feeling of exasperation.

A Team Perspective

One unnamed player remarked, “We were performing well, but the referee’s calls undermined our efforts.”

Sancris’s Admission

In his remarks, Sancris reflected, “It wasn’t a red card, but that’s how things unfolded. Vinicius was in control of the game, and it was my error to come on.”
