Real Madrid visits Cádiz five years after the ‘Cheryshev case’

The Real Madrid visit the stadium this wednesday Ramon de Carranza, scene of one of the last blackest episodes in the recent history of the club. There, on December 2, 2015, the merengue group, directed by Rafa Benitez, won 1-3 his round of 32 match of the Copa del Rey but it was eliminated in the dispatches for improper alignment of Denis
Cheryshev.

The Russian player formed at the beginning in the starting team formed by the merengue coach despite the fact that he dragged a sanction from a match of the previous season, when he was playing in the Villarreal.

Cheryshev opened the scoring after 3 minutes but was substituted at half-time by Kovacic. Benitez, warned by the echo of the news of the improper alignment committed with his alignment, aired by various stations in the course of the first half, he opted for prudence and withdrew the player from the field in the intermediate time.

A prudence that did not avoid the blush of an administrative elimination of the Real Madrid, dictated by the Competition Committee and later ratified by the other instances before which the lawyers of the white group appealed without any success.

Now, five years after that, Real Madrid led by Zidane returns to Cádiz to play a league game. Something that he has not done since August 28, 2005, the last year in which Cádiz was in the First division.
