Real Madrid has gone on the legal offensive to try to overturn the red card received by Fede Valverde. The legal services of the club have filed a formal appeal with the Disciplinary Committee, based on an exhaustive video analysis that, according to the institution, directly contradicts the report written by the referee.
The Defense: Ball and Lack of Danger
The Madrid appeal focuses on three key points recorded on video: Valverde always intended to play the ball, never raised his foot to a dangerous height, and there was no violence or risk of injury to the opponent. The club argues that the action was a part of the game and not an aggression warranting a direct expulsion.

Additionally, Madrid will argue that the foul occurred in the center of the field and with defensive superiority, so it was not a clear goal-scoring opportunity. There is optimism in Valdebebas: they trust that the graphic evidence will nullify the sanction and the Uruguayan can be present in the next league match.
