Real Sociedad left the Copa del Rey on Wednesday evening per month of beating by Manchester United in the Europa League. Manager Imanol Alguacil was irritated in the same way by the official after both, and noted that Los Blancos has sufficient talent to win games without the referees helping them.
The controversy came back to Real Madrid's third goal for extra time, which would ultimately yield things on 4-4 on aggregated thanks to the header of Mikel Oyarzabal in stop time. Kylian Mbappe seemed to go to the ball from a offside position and to take the real Sociedad defender Igor Zubeldia with him, before he finally let Vinicius Junior run on the ball. Aurelien Tchouamameni would go home from the subsequent corner.
“They eliminated us just as they eliminated us in the Europa League, with help in an area that we ask is neutral. Real Madrid does not need this kind of help because they are a big team and they don't need it,” he told Relo challengingly.
“It is one of those they have given. I have no doubt that if it was the other way around, it would have been given.”
La Real Captain Mikel Oyarzabal was clear about it at times after the game.
“I saw an offside from Mbappe, which interferes the middle behind. I think the decision of Igor conditions [Zubeldia]But the corner is in advance and so it is, “Oyarzabal added to sport.
Despite his frustration with the referees, Alguacil has devoted much of his press conference to noticing how proud he was on his side.
“I am happy and proud because two powerful teams turn out to us,” he noted about their performances. “
“Although nobody gave us a chance yesterday, the team has shown that game, character or personality is not lacking. We have done many things well, but we are not in the final. You can proudly leave, not reach a final. Both in the home game and the team, the team has far exceeded expectations.”
There is no shortage of speculation about the future of Alguacil lately, with his contract ends and some are wondering if he can walk away after seven successful years.
“Imanol has always wanted to stay in this club. Winning, losing or drawing will not change Imanol's thoughts. I am very clear about what this club is all about and I want to be here for many years.”
La Real traveled to Las Palmas on Sunday, while trying to insist on a European place. With their elimination of the Copa, the eighth place seems as if it is sufficient for the conference competition. Real Sociedad is currently in 10th place, two points on Rayo Vallecano in the seventh.
