Real Madrid youngster Endrick became involved in controversy after a doubtful incident in their encounter with Alaves.
After his stellar performance since joining the side, the Brazilian youngster managed to evade a red card despite seemingly kneeing Alaves defender Santiago Mourino in a sensitive place.
Debate Over the Decision
The incident happened while Real Madrid maintained their 3-0 lead. Endrick crashed into the box and kicked Mourino; it looked intentional.
While the referee issued a yellow card, a large number of fans thought it was overly lenient.
A fan said, “That should have been a straight red, not just a yellow,” and others labelled it a ‘violent act.’

According to The Mirror, the decision upset Alaves coach Garcia Plaza, who called it a “clear red” and questioned why VAR didn’t get involved.
A passionate Barcelona fan remarked, “Real Madrid has hacked the league; they will virtually get away with anything.”

Real Madrid’s Response
Although Endrick bypassed harsher consequences during the match, Real Madrid intends to have a conversation with him regarding his behaviour to stop similar situations going forward.
In the run-up to their important derby with Atletico Madrid, this incident will probably continue to be a talking point for both fans and members of the media.
