Real Madrid icon Marcelo has weighed in on the contentious draw between Real Madrid and Valencia at the Mestalla in La Liga on Saturday, March 2.
Despite the anticipation surrounding Jude Bellingham’s return from injury, Los Blancos found themselves trailing 2-0 after goals from Hugo Duro and Roman Yaremchuk. However, Vinicius Jr. managed to pull one back just before halftime and equalized in the 76th minute.
In a dramatic turn of events, Real Madrid had a late chance to secure victory with a corner. Brahim Diaz delivered a promising cross, but the referee, Gil Manzano, blew the final whistle just as the ball was in play.
Bellingham’s subsequent goal was disallowed, inciting a heated altercation between Madrid players and the referee, resulting in Bellingham’s dismissal.
Real Madrid’s official Instagram account shared an image of the post-match commotion, accompanied by the caption:
“An unprecedented refereeing decision prevents Real Madrid from winning at Mestalla.” Reacting to the post, club legend Marcelo voiced his frustration, commenting:
“Always the same ones against us.”
Despite the setback, Real Madrid maintains their lead at the top of the La Liga table, with a seven-point advantage over Girona.
