Real Sociedad has decided to present a formal protest for the yellow card that Mikel Merino saw at the Santiago Bernabéu. The club has submitted allegations to the Competition Committee about the minutes drawn up by Jesús Gil Manzano. The referee confirmed that he admonished the Navarrese midfielder in the 82nd minute of the match against Real Madrid for “recklessly knocking down an opponent in the dispute for the ball”. Gil Manzano pointed out a foul and cardboard for this entry by Merino on Carvajal and that, in the opinion of Real, he did not deserve a warning. In the next few hours it will be known if the appeal is successful, otherwise, the Real will be able to submit its complaint to the Appeals Committee. This is the seventh yellow card that Merino has seen in this League. The Navarrese international completed the match at the Bernabéu without having trained, since he was booked by Imanol due to the accumulation of physical problems that he has accumulated for some time now.
