Summary
Atlético Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in the Madrid derby on the 20th, but refereeing decisions overshadowed the match. Lee Kang-in's challenge on Federico Valverde, where he appeared to tread on the defender, drew scrutiny. According to reports, the refereeing committee determined the tackle merited a red card, which both the referee and VAR failed to spot.
Real Madrid protested the decision favoured Atlético. Rodri acknowledged Lee Kang-in's challenge could have been a sending-off but assessed it would not have a decisive impact on the season overall.
