José Luis Sánchez has publicly exploded over what happened in the match between Valencia and Real Madrid. The collaborator of El Chiringuito has used his X account to harshly criticize the Technical Committee of Referees, clearly and forcefully pointing the finger.
José Luis Sánchez started his message by saying: "WE'RE SORRY CTA". Then: "NEITHER MEDINA CANTALEJO, NOR SOTO GRADO NOR MUÑIZ RUIZ!!!"
The collaborator of El Chiringuito didn't stop there, stating: "You tried. You wanted it. You won't stand a chance with Real Madrid. NEVER!!!"
In this regard, José Luis Sánchez posted another message on his X account: "LEADERS AGAINST THE SYSTEM." "Run over by Soto Grado and Muñiz Ruiz from the VAR, they overcame Vinícius's expulsion and a Negreiresque refereeing. Modric and Bellingham turned around an impossible match. Leaders at the start of 2025," he concluded.
José Luis Sánchez's Reaction to Valencia-Madrid: "It was Negreiresque"
There was a lot of controversy in this match against Valencia in Mestalla, as always tends to happen. A penalty by Bellingham that should've been retaken, an offside by a hair of Mbappé, and a forgiven red card for Dimitrievski. However, what bothered José Luis Sánchez the most was the unfair expulsion of Vinícius Júnior.
In the last minutes of the match, Dimitrievski tried to provoke the Brazilian striker and he fell for it, giving a slight push. Soto Grado didn't miss his chance to expel him after reviewing the VAR, causing Vinícius Júnior's anger.
Real Madrid Wins 2-1 against Valencia: Here's How It Happened
The reality is that Carlo Ancelotti's team dominated the second half, which was enough. Hugo Duro's goal for Valencia was added to the scoreboard, as he finished very well in the first half. In the second half, despite having chances, Real Madrid couldn't capitalize its performance. Bellingham missed a penalty, hitting the post, while Mbappé scored, but was offside. Towards the end, Modric and Bellingham succeeded.
It wasn't an easy match for Real Madrid, as they faced a Valencia that was combative and very well-positioned on the field. The change on the bench was noticeable, playing good soccer and counterattacking very well.
