What did they say to each other? Álvaro Arbeloa clashes with the referee

In the Matchday 29 clash in Spain’s La Liga, we witnessed a showdown between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, which saw a controversial moment involving Valverde’s dismissal.

Details: Real Madrid head coach Álvaro Arbeloa and the match referee were involved in a dispute following the incident. The manager insisted it was never a red card and claimed the official would realize it after the game.

Quote: “You will see it later, no red.”

Referee: "Álvaro, he does not go for the ball, he only goes for the player," as reported by The Touchline.

After the final whistle, the Real boss admitted he still does not understand the decision. However, he added that sometimes you miss what happens on the pitch in real time and that the situation had been explained to him.

Reminder: Real edged Atlético in a narrow 3–2 victory. Los Blancos continue their pursuit of Barcelona in the title race. They now sit on 69 points, trailing Barça by four.
