Iturralde, on Assalé's action: “It is red”

Assalé committed a hard tackle on Piqué in the 55th minute. In a divided ball he entered with the cleats in front, hitting the defender's knee in a dangerous way. Martinez Munuera only whistled for a foul, but ITurralde González considers that the striker should have been sent off. The referee for As y la Ser understands that the action deserved the maximum punishment: “That is red, but the VAR will not enter. Entries are not penalized for intentionality. They are penalized for the way you enter. You have to see if it's reckless reckless or rough, serious game. In this case it is serious rough play. It's a red card. “
