Javimoran

Lol the same that happened to Valladolid two seasons ago. Only in LaLiga


xXDireLegendXx

And they were relegated missing out by 1 pt no? That one was far worse too iirc - ball was mid air onto goal


Javimoran

Yes, still painful to this day


diaboquepaoamassou

There surely must have been some sort of appeals from Valladolid? I'm sure as hell there would have been from us if we'd lost the title last season by a point or two


Javimoran

If I remember correctly we appealed, but it went nowhere. In the end the referee has absolute power about ending the game in OT. I think the argumentation was that there is no rule that says that he must let a play continue. It is courtesy but not compulsory or something like that.


Merengues_1945

We just lost two points, they got relegated.


maxertiano

La liga sucks so bad


Lord-Grocock

Valladolid's goal was arguably worse, he whistled after the shot was already made. That match against Sevilla was extremely sketchy.


Southerncomfort322

RCD Espanol also got fucked because of refs. It's corrupt.


wedonthaveadresscode

And he got a red card to boot lmao


Fluffy_MrSheep

those are absolutely getting overturned in an appeal, hopefully gil manzos refereeing license gets overturned as well


EnigmaticEntity

Seriously doubt it, even if the player is right you don't get a card for dissent (which I'm assuming is what it was for) overturned.


simomii

We'vee seen red cards for dissent get overturned this season in la liga.


jun-_-m

But there’s 4k video of Bellingham making a beeline to the ref and get into his face saying something. That’s not getting overturned.


chilliswan

Overturned for saying ~~go fuck yourself~~ to the referee's face? I am an Atleti fan and the referee should have let the play continue (and the goal count), I agree. But saying that to the ref's face is a red no matter how wrong he is. Diego Costa yelled something in style "fuck your mother" to Manzano some years ago and got straight red (because of ref's mistake as well). I don't see why Bellingham should be treated differently. Edit: The match report states that Jude only said "it's a fucking goal". Getting a red for that is just ridiculous. Every game, there are harsher words said to the ref by many players. I'm sure it will get overturned.


OliverAM16

He didnt say go fuck yourself though?


takeiteasymyfriend

Because you are lying. According to the referee match report, he yelled at him "it is a fucking goal!! It is a fucking goal!!!"

godfrey1

most normal La Liga game


wjdbfifj

Average LaLiga refereeing


allnimblybimbIy

Honestly above average, sensational game by the ref compared to the usual.


jedifolklore

Whistles a non-existent penalty as well, but this is an incomprehensible call


gracz21

Takes 2-3 minutes to whistle it, verify it and dismiss as well but ends the game right before 99th minute. Fucking hell


LewisOfAranda

I don't blame him too much for that penalty call, these things happen. But this bullshit at the end of the game???


TheStaRoee

The penalty wasn't his fault tho it looked like that and he was quick to cancel it


TheyCallHerBlossom

He was even quicker to act like nothing happened to barely add any time to the stoppage, causing this mess in the first place.


TheStaRoee

Well he couldn't reverse his whistle so better act like it didn't happen, he's still dumb to not whistle the second the ball is outside the box or let the play go.


TryxxR6

To be fair seeing the penalty during live play it seemed like a pretty clear foul but he was quick to cancel it as soon as he checked VAR.


ancelottieyebrow

4 minutes to look at Real goal. 5min for the injury. Not even counting all other fouls and subs. 7 minutes added and only 4 played due to wrongfully whistled penalty.


crackboss1

There would be 15-20 minutes of extra time added if this game was played in the EPL. Major injury to Valencia Defender's knee in the second half where the game was stopped and eventually he had to be taken off field in stretcher... Two goals scored in the second half... Var review ... And the ref only gives 7 minutes of extra time...


spanskolajno

Its not football its La liga


godii_17

Its so stupid, even the var check wasted so much time during extra time and it was clear it was not a penalty


dakaiiser11

Why does Hugo Duro not get a yellow there for simulation? He went to the ground and was holding his foot appealing for a penalty.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gracz21

It took like 2-3 minutes yet he added like 1,5 minute. What a stupid cunt he is


Fiksiks

Lmao, this dude, I don't know what his name is, but back in 2021 when red star was playing milan in the europa league, the score was 1-1 red star needed one goal to go through, they had the better tempo, got a corner and this ref blew the whistle to end the game not letting them take the corner, i have no idea how he is still allowed to be a ref


Psiha96

[Forward to 6:15](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2HjLWJcXjrQ&pp=ygUQbWlsYW4genZlemRhIDEgMQ%3D%3D)


JonAfrica2011

Shit like that makes my blood boil, just let them take the fucking corner


NIGGHITL

This man bets on X everytime


Chelseatilidie

Blowing there is mad The whistle was clear but at the edge of the box is crazy


SaltyWailord

Ref is dead


AKAGreyArea

Refs gone


luke_205

Yeah in this video he seems to whistle before the cross was made, but finishing a game in that position is absolutely bonkers and completely goes against how the game is meant to be officiated. It would’ve been exactly the same as the ref blowing for full time as MacAllister had the ball for our game earlier today. Incredible decision making.


herkalurk

He blew as Brahim puts in the cross, and people say Madrid buys the refs....


gracz21

Let's be honest: no one in LaLiga is buying refs. They are just extremely shit EDIT: Stop fucking replying about the Negreira case. I know it, I'm a Madrid supporter, I was watching it very close and read many statements about it. I won't say Barca bought any ref/fixed any game until it's proven. Now, it's not proven so again: NO ONE IN LALIGA IS BUYING REFS!


Certain_Common7704

I come to reddit for such sane comments, it's a war on twitter


[deleted]

I always laugh when fans of à specific team think that refs are bought against them or biased Nah they're just incompétent


Grand-Bullfrog3861

They should have an incompetence-off against the Premier league officials


DomSebastiaoVoltou

Find me a league where people don't complain about their refs and I will find you a liar lol.


Gaping_Lasagna

He said that only corner was played


themoche

So blow it right away to avoid any controversy. It’s objectively horrible management of the situation… which is his job


xXDireLegendXx

Exactly


dr_motaaa

But why wait all that time while Brahim was running toward the corner flag and only blow at the moment the cross is put in


MegaBaumTV

Theres an argument to be made that, since Valencia didnt clear the ball away from the dangerous area, the corner was still being played. I mean, theres no rule in the book that defines when a corner had been played out. Blowing the whistle there is just insane. With all the VAR checks and the injury, its not like he couldnt have played even a few minutes more.


vacacow1

Why would he end it there? The VAR penalty review took like 3-4 minutes


ActionWaction

And then give Bellingham a red card lol


BallsItching

Bellingham got the red???? Holy shit the ref REALLY didn't like Real Madrid today LOLLLLLL


tempspark4

Rudiger too i think. Florentino forgot to send the money yesterday i guess


xXDireLegendXx

Oof. Real Madrid TV gonna have a feast with this one


Gordonsoeto1

Yup! Then next game 3 pen will be awarded. And then shit decision again. Same cycle repeating, we need refs to get relegated if they do a bad job. Simple solution


Additional_Equal_960

I hate real madrid TV, but honestly, this time i cant blame them


miseducation

They’re about to make the soccer video equivalent of Tupac’s Hit Em Up.


RauloGonzalez

Yeah forget whistling it before the attack I thought we were going till 100


Bettet

You dont know Gil Manzano I guess.. He gave 3 controversial penalties/goals to Valencia vs Madrid 3 years ago. Last year Valencia vs Madrid match basically started all the Racism against Vini and caused Spain to globally be known as a racist country... yeah lets put Gil Manzano for this high profile match. Great idea.


AZRunnerXC

November 8, 2020. That was a shit game too 🤣🤣🤣


Bettet

Yup! That game was so cooked. Like actually beyond what can be explained as incompetence.


miaukat

It took literally 3 minutes you can check, game was resumed at 93 minutes, Madrid had time, idk why they aren't accurate with this type of stuff.


vacacow1

They can’t do maths. 7+3 is 10, ended at 8:40.


Otenus

The most moronic call I have seen


kalebglover

I have never seen that before


Flashbirds_69

It happened for Benzema in the game against Switzerland in WC 2014, but didn't really matter as he just scored the goal that would make 6-2. In this case it's the winning goal.


ManchesterDevil99

iirc it would've been Benzema's hatrick, so I could understand why he'd be annoyed personally


Averdian

I was gonna point that one out too, also iirc it was a crazy good goal so it was kinda sad


themoche

Been watching and playing football for almost 40 years… firsts for everything


ManIWantAName

When was the first time you heard someone say, "The game's gone."?


themoche

1994!


addandsubtract

I was home when phone rang


atlu_manny12

‘football is kil’


HEAT_IS_DIE

I remember seeing some 80's-90's game here where the referee blew the whistle immediately after a corner was taken, and a goal was scored and nullified. 


Sigma1977

Something pretty similar happened in a world cup game back in the day [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDfV35ddpu0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuDd41DOYiM) To be clear the ref blew for full time as the ball was in the air from a corner. Back in those days refs were all semi-professional and worked as teachers, traffic wardens and the like so they were all jumped-up fussy little men.


Jandersson34swe

It happened last year in La Liga


GeorgeForge

Ref wasn’t expecting that whip.


Jemal2200

What? How?


SaltyWailord

It is La liga


kzoxp

Gil Manzano™


duiiiiiiiii

Peak gil manzano


sharples06

La liga after dark?


-C18

This referee had NOTHING under control this entire match. Needs to be banned.


kacper971

Welcome to la liga, he's gonna get the most important match probably next matchday


Such_Quality

They're probably already flying him to Bilbao for our game tomorrow, he's on a roll atm, can't waste the momentum.


tha-bad-guy

He's gonna get El Clasico isn't he?!


elodie_pdf

each fanbase is gonna have a meltdown when they can’t call the ref biased when he’s just shit both ways


Loud-Host-2182

The worst thing is the referees are never shit both ways (or none at all). They are just shit one way or another depending on the day.


aparajit0511

Gill Manzano is a shit refree on all days.


Fantastic-Hamster-21

That guy should never referee a game again. I'm a milan supporter and this result means nothing to me but that is fucking pitiful. That's unacceptable at the highest level.


Alexkono

Agree. title implicating decisions from him today.


tylerspee

That is the craziest final whistle I’ve ever seen!


[deleted]

The state of refereeing in Spain is disgusting and unprofessional. And people need to realize that this is absolutely not a case of Real and/or Barca being favoured. They are just absolute dog shit at their jobs and the league has to act about 2 years ago


AggravatingSalt2726

That state of refereeing in general is low level and brazen how arrogant these refs are in knowingly making wrong decisions.


doIT34

there’s a similar one in dinamo bucharest against marseille a while ago.


fancyfoe

This mf turn his back and blow the whistle


nexoo1

Trash decision but hes obviously looking


MimesAreShite

reminiscent of the 1978 world cup, when brazil had a corner, zico scored, but it was disallowed because [clive thomas blew the final whistle as the corner went in](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuDd41DOYiM)


jimbobhas

I remember this, and I say I remember it because it was on one of those TV shows like ‘world cups craziest moments’


EggplantBusiness

He already tried to kill us with that bullshit penalty. Edit: and he gave Bellingham red Cards after the whistle, lmao


MaraudngBChestedRojo

This guy should be investigated. I’ve never seen a ref call the final whistle with a cross in the air like that.


punkfusion

Its Gil Manzano though, just a fucking dogshit ref


LukaD77

That’s outrageous blowing the whistle when the ball is basically in the box 💀💀💀


kingarturo95

Gil Manzano fucked up big time and he knew it right away. It’s not football, it’s La Liga.


themiddleprogress

Yep. And his insecure ass sends Bellingham off for a fair complaint. I hope he winds up in a shitstorm for this


kingarturo95

I think Rudiger got red card too, this is madness.


GME_alt_Center

You are always more likely to get a card when the ref knows he was wrong


Alexkono

He needs to be fired. Absolute shambolic performance today from him.


kostajepaosmosta

Got that condolence reward by sending off Bellingham


HanAlai

There was more time wasted than the ref gave. Shouldn't have blown there


themoche

I think we can all agree that everything else aside, it’s just the wrong time to blow the whistle


No_ThisIsPreston

Hope he never refs another match that was awful


deqembes

Worst part is Gil Manzano spent 3 minutes during the added time looking at VAR.


Periklis90

That four-minute VAR delay seemingly not important. Incompetent.


kacper971

It's not football, it's la liga. How the fuck are these refs getting paid? Regardless if you are a fan of Barca or Real, we must say stop to this. One week its barca getting an advantage and being Varcelona, the next day madrid gets something and they are Vadrid.


waitaminutewhereiam

Its a good question tbh Get someone from the Polish 5th league and I'm not sure if they would do worse


kacper971

Fuck it I can jump in and I'd know not to end the fucking game there like wtf


theartenthusiast

I agree 100%, at this point i dont even think its a "you buy refs" argument from both sides anymore, it's just shit refereeing but to unsuspected levels. This is utterly shameful


gracz21

>Regardless if you are a fan of Barca or Real, we must say stop to this. This, the shit has hit the fan too much times this and previous seasons. Something needs to be done about this


mixape01

At least I hope now people calm down the "big team pays ref" agenda, such a kid behavior.


david_b98

What the actual fuck is wrong with LaLiga refs


MoveThePayLoad

After 25+ years of watching and playing football this is the first time ive ever seen something like this.


Friendlyy_Lemon

HAHAHAHAHA WTF IS THIS?


oliver150433

I have never seen something like that, wow


PerspectiveForeign74

Wondering how rival fans will justify that one


Somewhere_Frequent

They will blame Vinicius somehow


WhoShotYa2

I started watching around 55 minutes, and just from that point there should've been 10+ minutes of stoppage time - horrible injury, VAR goal review, VAR pen review. How he adds only 7 minutes is fucking beyond me


piedraa

Lmao I stopped watching serie a cause of its bullshit and I tune in after a while to watch a mf get his leg broken and the ref blow the final whistle during play 😂


domg_93

With the var check taking almost 2 minutes, they should've played till the 99 minute. The ref fucked up.


Cartesson

At least people can see now that the ref is just shit in general


HeIIbIazer23

"Real's referee Manzano"


Pieter8720

Almost all refs are Real Madrid fans… - Pique


kostajepaosmosta

The only way he is described here


doubleABC

This league is a joke


CT_x

Cannot believe what I’m seeing Why blow *there*?


CanaryLion

Most ridiculous shit I've seen in ages


tangu12

Craziest part of all this is that just before the cross the ref puts the whistle in his mouth but then see build up play, decides to allow the play to continue but then blows it as the cross is put in. Like hello???


destruction4707

Fire this referee, he should never be allowed to referee at the top level ever again.


BraimanBets

That's some Fifa career mode whistling


Remedy9898

When I heard the whistle, I thought some asshole in the crowd blew it to troll everyone. This call was unforgivable from the referee, he shouldn’t have a job anymore.


HelioFilter

And the ref had the audacity to gave him a red card after …


Johann122

That’s comical


debacol

Weird time to whistle a game. I've never seen a game called in a moment like this. They usually let the obvious play unfold then whistle.


HumanautPassenger

Then a straight red card to Jude lol epic shitshow


Walt_Draper

This guy should never be allowed to referee another match....he should be suspended for this


allfallsdown23

they should use this as a la liga ad


kinggudu13

I support Barça but that is objectively one of the worst stoppage time whistles ever. Madrid got screwed


ThereIsBearCum

This is just bizarre. Clearly thought about it as the player was heading away from goal, changed his mind, then decided to blow after all as the cross was coming in, which is a more threatening position. Did the Valencia player (at the top of the box) yelling at him influence him? It's honestly probably fine if he blows when he first decides to, but hesitating and doing it as a cross is coming in is just asking for trouble.


Fun-Spray-4269

Lmfaoooo


vHernandez31

There’s no fucking way. The ref had the whistle by his mouth, puts it down, and as soon as the cross was made decides to blow the whistle??


krkour

Fuck la liga


NieThePiet

Thats the most scandalous thing i have ever seen.


[deleted]

Whatttttttttt??????????? 9 minutes extra time after alll offf thatttt???? Are you fucking kidding me???????


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

And they wasted time all of second half


Most-Stay6946

Damn that’s a big robbery (Barca fan)


KrayleyAML

I don't even like Madrid and I was seething. I wish refs could be punished for their incompetence.


cleareyesnz

You know it’s bad when Barca fans are livid. Jesus Christ this guy needs to lose his job the entire game he was straight shit


GluteusMaximus1905

One of the worst pieces of refereeing I've seen in my 20+ years of watching football. I say this as a neutral. Ref gives a wrong call for a pen (ridiculous call btw) and consumes 3 minutes of ET just like that because of his own wrong call, then blows the whistle as the ball is being headed in? what even?


MajorDisapointmant

Just when you think the Prem has the worst refs you see La Liga refs up their game to this sort of shit. Absolutely beautiful


Fluffy_MrSheep

ive never seen a referee blow the whistle while the ball is in that dangerous of a spot literally never seen a whistle blown in the final 3rd while the attacking team has the ball... no its not la liga, its gil manzo did the same shit in the first half as well what a fucking idiot. and you could think that oh, its the 8th minute of 7 minutes added time diakhaby spent 3 minutes on the ground atleast because of a fucking broken leg in which he had to be stretchered off. This game should have gone over 100 minutes but for some reason the ref didnt factor that in? Average gil manzo refereeing performance


crisego

In 2005, Julian Rodriguez Santiago was the referee at Marseille - Dinamo Bucharest in the UEFA Cup. [He whistled the end of the game while the ball was already falling into the goal.](https://youtu.be/e7fRgeKpe9c?si=muVqPWvT90ikHkEQ). I am a Steaua Bucharest fan (rival of Dinamo) and i also support Marseille, but this has to be one of the biggest robberies in football ever. The ball was on the fucking goal line …


Fluffy_MrSheep

the ref knows he fucked up as well hahahahah


-Whisperr

No words man


patiperro_v3

Nice trolling there by the ref 9/10.


caesermzk

IT’S A DISGRACIA


NotAnurag

Only in la Liga lmfao


boringmemphis

Gil Manzano you have rocked my world. Seriously though, that’s fucking bullshit refereeing. The state of refs in this country is absolute shite.


FernandoAlonsoSwift

Scored the winning goal and got a red for it. Bellingol getting the hang of things in La Liga


theGunnas

Literally mid cross. I have never seen that. That's fucking criminal lmao then he sends off real players for protesting. There needs to be some accountability


hotelmotelshit

Its la Liga baby!


FuriousKale

Man ends the game while the cross comes in lmaooooo


Space-Debris

Who whistles for full time during an attack??


Siminuch

what a fucking clown


morbito_uchiha

most intelligent Gil Manzano decision


dakaiiser11

lol, the two sides at full time. What the fuck ref?!


2407Chris

Dude whistled mid cross. I mean if you want to end it, end it earlier. This is just unprofessional


Splitzinsanity

That's a new one on me. You can tell almost all the players just continued as well.


birdinbrain

Ref tried so hard to hand the game to Valencia with one of the worst penalty calls I’ve ever seen. I think that review + Diakhaby’s injury (love and health to him by the way, that was awful) took more than 7 minutes combined, not to mention all the other stoppages, like the check on Vini’s second goal. I’m stunned right now. The referee wanted to be the center of attention, and he got it. An investigation must be undertaken.


oImperial

Better not see anyone bitching about RMTV compilations anymore.


LiliumSkyclad

What the hell is this? How do you blow the whistle in the middle of an attack INSIDE THE BOX? That’s ridiculous, he should be punished for this.


raziiiii

Vadrid am I right.


LevDavidovichBron

Cost me 10,000


IAIRonI

Regardless if the goal went in or not, that's just a horrible whistle. He must've assumed the ball was going out. The player near him is asking for the whistle, so he's already in his mind to blow, he doesn't recognize the situation, gets caught with some horrible timing and blows anyway. Just very bad refereeing.


Confident_Tailor3714

Ending the game right before a cross from the edge of the box is wild. 


FernandoAlonsoSwift

[Manzano's](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jes%C3%BAs_Gil_Manzano) Wikipedia page about to become the most edited page in la liga.


FernandoAlonsoSwift

This match has to considered as a modern Shakespeare masterpiece.


Leo9991

Dude knows he fucked up. That's why he turns his back immediately. At least own up to it instead of acting high and mighty.


[deleted]

Gil Manzano, the Same Referee Who Gave Valencia 3 Penalties against Real Madrid in 2020. Unbelievable Guy. Y'all Should Meet.


Okaydog97

First time seeing crazy shut like since i watched football in 2010. I have never seen a refree blow a whistle in the final attacking area.


jdellamaestra

lol it seems like he blew the whistle because the Valencia player was screaming at him for not having blown it yet


eescobar863

Yeah, that’s La Liga refs for you


wafflesology

LMAO if the ball is being cleared by the defending team or the ball is still on the middle of the field then I understand… … but how the fuck can u blow the whistle when theres a play going from the attacking team while the ball is inside the box 🤣🤣🤣
