However, This Thursday the defining key was lived between Manchester United and Barcelona for the 16th of the Europa League. What does it have to do with the expulsion of Falcón? Here we explain it. In the middle of the match between the English and the Spanish, there was a play similar to the one that El Peluca experienced last weekend.
It all starts with the dispute for the ball between midfielder Frankie de Jong and defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It was the winger who won the duel, sending the Dutchman to the ground, and where, later, the Portuguese Bruno Fernandes appeared, who hit him in the chest with a ball at the wheel of Barcelona, triggering a cross between the footballers.
Nevertheless, the United midfielder was only booked with a yellow card, leaving the question of the different criteria that exist in football between one competition and another for a similar play. And who jumped quickly was the couple of the Colo Colo footballer, who shared a message about it on their social networks.
“And that’s not red? Hahaha”was the message he shared on his Instagram account comparing both plays that have the similarity of hitting his rival with a ball, but with a different criteria where Falcón was sent off, and the Portuguese was only reprimanded.
