Sarabia Outraged by Real Madrids Equalizer as Elche Coach Expresses Anger

Bellingham’s Late Heroics

In a thrilling conclusion to the match, Jude Bellingham netted a goal in the 87th minute, securing a draw for Real Madrid. However, the match’s intensity escalated when Vinicius Jr. collided with the opposition goalkeeper, resulting in a bloodied nose for the keeper.

Coach’s Outburst

A visibly upset Sarabia expressed his frustration post-match, stating:

That was a clear foul. It’s not just a typical scenario in football. That’s precisely what VAR is intended to address. It was an obvious foul; it struck the goalkeeper and even caused bleeding.

Despite the goalkeeper’s assertion that the incident was a regular part of football, Sarabia remained unconvinced.

Sarabia’s Statement

It’s commendable that the keeper considers it normal, but in reality, it wasn’t. It was undeniably a foul.

-The coach remarked, clearly taken aback that neither the referee nor VAR addressed the issue properly.

I feel dissatisfied with the outcome, particularly in light of the critical moments in the game. The foul committed by Vinicius during the play that led to the 2-2 equalizer was unmistakable. It certainly wasn’t just a regular play; it was a blatant foul.

Sarabia continued:

It frustrates me to dwell on these issues, especially when you take the lead twice and feel there were circumstances that affected the final score. It’s truly maddening.
