Correa did not have the same ‘luck’ as Ramos or Messi with Munuera Montero

“Your mother’s shell.” That was the expression released by Angel Strap with Munuera Montero as a recipient that caused the Andalusian referee to show the red card directly to the Argentine soccer player in the 85th minute of the clash between the Atletico Madrid and the Lightning in Vallecas, a match that ended with a victory for the rojiblancas by the minimum thanks to a goal from Boil.

An action that can cost the mattress player, at least, two sanction games, so it would be a safe loss against Deportivo Alavés and Mallorca according to other precedents. The RFEF Disciplinary Code, in its article 117, explains that “addressing the referees in terms or with attitudes of contempt or disregard as long as the action does not constitute a more serious offense, will be sanctioned with a suspension of two to three games or by up to a month”.

In 94, meanwhile, it states: “Insulting, offending or addressing in insulting terms or attitudes the main referee, assistants, fourth referee, managers or sports authorities, unless it constitutes a more serious offense, will be sanctioned with a suspension of four to twelve games” .

The first case is the one that should be applied for Correa for the expression used in Vallecas, a common phrase in Argentines and that is not always sanctioned in the same way. Not even by the same referee. Because on February 16, 2019, in a Barcelona-Valladolid at the Camp Nou, Leo Messi headed to Munuera Montero in the same terms as Correa on Saturday. “Go to your mother’s shell,” released today’s PSG footballer. The Andalusian referee saw it, heard it, and showed the Argentine star yellow card. A Strap, red.

Of course, in the minutes, the braid from Jaen did not reflect what was said by Messi. He was reprimanded, he wrote in the minutes, for “obviously protesting one of my decisions, raising one of his arms.”

AND RAMOS CALLED HIM “FUCKER”

This same referee, also in 2019, was insulted by Sergio Ramos, who claimed a penalty in the Real Sociedad area not indicated. “Fucker”, he called him repeatedly according to the Cope. Munuera Montero did not even admonish the Real Madrid captain at the time. Different criteria from the same referee for different players for similar actions.

Of course, Correa, who made a mistake when he had also been on the pitch for a few minutes and with a tight score in favor of Atlético, and no one takes away the red card… nor the foreseeable two-game ban.
