Appeal confirms the yellow to Modric in Balaídos

The Appeals Committee has confirmed in its meeting this Wednesday the yellow card that the Croatian Luka Modric, Real Madrid midfielder, saw in the match against Celta in Balaídos.

Appeal dismissed the appeal presented by Real Madrid and confirmed the agreement of the Competition Committee, which in turn had rejected the allegations of the white club on March 24.

Real Madrid argued that Modric did not knock down an opponent in the dispute for a ball, but that it was the opponent who hit after the Croatian made a pass to his teammate Lucas Vázquez, but Appellate members “unanimously” consider that the videographic evidence provided by the Madrid club “is not sufficient to disprove the presumption of veracity of the record, and that it corroborates and adjusts to the referee's account “and that it” reveals the existence of contact between both players in the set of the game to which it refers. “

Therefore, “since the images are compatible with what is reflected in the record, not being able to appreciate a manifest material error, this Appeal Committee must necessarily dismiss the present appeal”
