Marca: Real Madrid expects to appeal against Lunin s red card, believing that Ferran pushed Lunin first

In the El Clasico on October 28, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1, and the two teams clashed after the game. According to the referee's report after the game, Luning was sent off with a red card for "aggressively leaving his own bench and walking towards the opponent's bench." "Marca" reports that Real Madrid may appeal Lunin's red card.

According to reports, the cause of the melee was Pedri being sent off. Vinicius, who had been substituted before and had just returned from the locker room, left the bench to celebrate Pedri's red card. This move angered the Barcelona bench, and Ferran Torres and Balde immediately jumped "like springs" and rushed towards Vinicius. Lunin immediately stepped in to protect Vinicius, leading to grabbing and shoving on both benches.

Real Madrid was puzzled that Lunin was the only person sent off in that conflict. The article disclosed Real Madrid's statement: Ferran Torres pushed Lunin first. However, Ferran Torres was not even warned during that melee.

Referee Soto Grado wrote in the post-match report that Lunin was sent off because he "left the bench and rushed to the opponent's bench with an aggressive attitude." Real Madrid deemed the report "inconsistent with the facts" and are expected to appeal to have the red card revoked. Club executives found it difficult to believe this description, as Lunin is an "extremely calm" player.
