Piqué ‘sympathizes’ with Valencia on Twitter and suggests that he not report the ‘robberies’ in Madrid | PHOTO

Omar Alderete crossed the path of Casemiro, who fell into the area. Immediately, the referee whistled a penalty in favor of Real Madrid, although the Valencia players protested that decision. For the visitors at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, there was no contact against the Brazilian, despite the review and confirmation through the VAR. Anyway, Karim Benzema was in charge of executing the maximum penalty to make it 1-0.

Without room for complaint, at least within the green rectangle, the ‘Che’ team took the controversy to social networks, where they expressed outrage at what happened in the capital of Spain. “The robbery in Madrid begins to be somewhat repetitive”, wrote the combination of the bat and labeled the famous series La Casa de Papel.

Not only Valencia spoke out for the controversial offense against Casemiro. Another character who is always active on the Internet participated in the complaint: Gerard Piqué. The Barcelona center-back, who allowed himself to be tied (1-1) against Granada in the final minute, quoted the published tweet to add fuel to the fire.

“Do not say it too loud that they are going to sanction you”wrote the defending world champion in 2010. Also, the footballer added an emoticon that puts his finger to his mouth to ask for silence. In this sense, the messages from Valencia and Piqué had different reactions from the Real Madrid fans.

At the end of the first stage, according to the newspaper Marca, the defender Mouctar Diakhaby and David Rangel, delegate of the visitors, approached the referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández to ask about the action that marked the first fraction and that changed the process of the commitment in LaLiga Santander.
