Real Madrid – Barça: Modric vents his anger on the referee when he decides to suspend the Clasico
Croatian midfielder Modric could not hide his anger after the end of the Clasico.
The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona had not yet reached the quarter-hour mark when the referee, Armando Villarreal, announced the suspension. As in the match against Milan, the reasons were related to the weather conditions in the area.
New Jersey has been under severe weather warnings throughout the day, with a high probability of thunderstorms. The protocol in these situations is clear and allows for no ambiguity.
If lightning strikes within an 8-mile radius, the game is immediately suspended, and teams and spectators must seek shelter. The game will not resume until 30 minutes have elapsed without any lightning being observed within that radius.
This situation has not prevented some players, from both Barça and Madrid, from protesting strongly against Villarreal's decision, with Luka Modric at the forefront.
” Let's play ” said the Croatian midfielder, now captain since Nacho's departure. He was not the only one to protest, as Ancelotti, Flick, and Iñigo Martínez also expressed their discontent, but they had to resolve to go to the locker room.
The match is therefore suspended for the next half hour, followed by 12 minutes of warm-up. We therefore have 45 minutes of waiting left.
