Covers of newspapers, informative, covers of television... The Real Madrid, used all his speakers in the press before confronting against Chelsea to condition to the referee of the party. Taking advantage of the threats of Ceferin, president of the UEFA, by the subject of the Superliga European, the media madridistas have presionado during several days to the referee, Danny Makkelie.
Josep Pedrerol, presenter of the 'Chiringuito' and of 'Jugones', went surely the best example of this with speeches like east: "Already we know that Ceferin has him win to the Real Madrid. That it has loomed him publicly. That today it will carry put the T-shirt of Chelsea. That expects that they win it they, the PSG or the City. The referee's performance concerns and a lot", commented the Catalan, leaving clear that in the club merengue concerned a lot this subject.
After a campaign like this, this Tuesday saw the effects that has had in the referee, that was not precisely against of the Madrid in the party. The Dutch did an arbitration very permisivo with both groups and left a lot play, leaving without punishing crowd of 'faltitas' that many other referees yes would have signalled. However, further of this, benefited to the whites in the two more controversial actions of the crash.
In the 1-1 of Karim Benzema, before the finish of the French there is a left of Casemiro to the first stick so that Éder Militao combed it for the volley of the Frenchman. A jump of the mediocentro Brazilian in which the referee could and surely had to pitar fault of the '14' on Azplicueta, on which supported clearly. A played grey, since it was a dispute with the balloon of byhalf , reason by which the VAR did not put and the so much went up to the marker.
Many hallucinate with the fact that this target did not cancel , although the true is that during all the meeting there were actions very seemed in which Makkelie neither saw at all. In this sense, was consistent with his form to direct the party, but this no him 'save' of burns it. It was as it was, this target gave life to a Madrid to the that saved this referee that went to carry "the T-shirt of Chelsea".
Makkelie No pitó penalti of Carvajal by a push
But if with this was not little, the madridistas also saw benefited by an even more clear infringement. In the second part, Dani Carvajal pushed absurdly to Ben Chilwell inside the area and did penalti. However, the referee did not see at all and the VAR neither saw sufficient to go in. An action that protested mildly the side of Chelsea, but that for Makkelie did not have more. There is not doubt that the lloros in the press had effect in the referee...
