Controversy over Camavinga’s substitution in Real Madrid vs Getafe match

The change of Camavinga for Odriozola in the 84th minute of Real Madrid-Getafe last Saturday night at the Bernabéu brought controversy in the last minutes. The one replaced at first was going to be Marco Asensio. The Spaniard went to the wing and high-fived the Basque full-back, but Asensio was stopped on the touchline before leaving because Ancelotti ordered at that moment that the substituted be Eduardo Camavinga, who moments before had suffered a strong kick from Juan Iglesias and asked for the change.

The question is whether or not Asensio crossed the line. The images seem to show that the Spaniard did not transfer it, warned by Chendo, the field delegate, but that Odriozola had entered the field for a moment before Asensio left. The question is to determine if Madrid could have incurred in an improper alignment by following Asensio in the game. In any case, sources from the League said this morning that “the controversy is artificial because the referee is the highest authority on the pitch and Martínez Munuera expressly gave the OK for the substituted player to be changed at the last moment, before restart the game, so this has zero travel. It’s manual.”

No complaint, at the moment

In the course of this morning the feeling was that Getafe was not going to file any complaint with the Competition Committee either. However, his decision could change in the next few hours. Even the complaint could come from other clubs. Regulations in hand, the azulón club has until Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. to file a complaint, if it deems it appropriate.

It certainly does not seem that the clubs involved in the fight to avoid relegation are going to take a measure that favors the azulones, right now the third from bottom.
