Yet Another … Eventful Night at the Mestalla
It’s pretty much a sure thing, these days, that Real Madrid are going to struggle at the Mestalla and that the game will be remembered mostly for some controversy or bad behavior. Well, this one was not so different. Real Madrid played a bad first half and allowed Valencia to get a two-goal lead. As it so often happens, the “Curse of the Ex” stroke back, with Hugo Duro scoring the opener. Vini stepped up big time and helped the team back into the game, which should be highlighted for everyone. But… the referee had plans to make the night fairly memorable. A Real Madrid attacking sequence just outside the box was interrupted by the full-time whistle just as the cross was being made… a cross Real Madrid scored from. Let’s just say that it didn’t go down so well…
Whether it Be a Good Night or a Bad Night…
Jude still gets to show his class. Let’s hope the boyz won’t be too affected by this incident.
Despite being sent off after thinking he’d won the game for Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham still found the time to meet young fans after last night’s chaos ❤️ pic.twitter.com/ahOufnosGa
