Alvaro Arbeloa Disagrees With Fede Valverde Red Card Against Atletico in 3-2 Win

Valverde was shown a straight red card for a foul on Alex Baena. "There is no intent to hurt or injure the opponent. The red card made everything more difficult, and we had to suffer a lot," Arbeloa said, rejecting the referee's claim about excessive force. Real are now 4 points behind leaders Barcelona, who won 1-0 against Rayo Vallecano.
