Inspired by Bellingham? Angel Correa to miss at least 4 matches for insulting the referee
Angel Correa will face a suspension of at least four matches following an incident in the game against Getafe. The Argentine forward from Atletico was sent off in the 87th minute for a harsh tackle on an opponent, and subsequently made offensive remarks towards the main referee, Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez.
Details: The referee's report recorded Correa's words: "Son of a b****, coward" and further profanity involving the referee's mother. According to Article 94 of the Federation's disciplinary code, such insults towards referees can result in a suspension ranging from four to twelve matches. This means Correa is likely to miss at least four games, including both upcoming Atletico clashes against Barcelona — in La Liga and the Cup.
Reminder: After the match, Correa posted an apology on social media addressing the referee and fans. The footballer also apologized to his teammates and coaching staff, acknowledging that his actions negatively impacted the team.
