Gil Manzano leads the Hungarians, Messi and Bellingham are also on the list of his exhibitors

The Hungarian national football team is preparing for an important match, Saturday’s away Nations League match against the Netherlands will be decisive for the second place in the group, thereby staying in the A league. The match will be refereed by the Spanish Jesús Gil Manzano, who played only one match at the summer European Championship, and shortly before that he upset the mood in the match against Real Madrid, when he blew the match seconds before the capital city’s potential winning goal.

The Real Madrid players were of course outraged, Jude Bellingham got so angry that he received a red card from Gil Manzano for his anger. S Bellingham not the only big namewho was sent off by the referee.

Bellingham, Messi, Neymar, Suárez: Jesús Gil Manzano sent them all out

Gil Manzano was never afraid to act decisively even against the biggest clubs and players. He is the only one who sent off Lionel Messi in the Barcelona match, but he also showed a red card to Neymar, Luis Suárez and Robert Lewandowski, and Gerard Piqué ended his career with a sending off.

Messi once called him a Madrid referee, but as it turned out this spring, Real Madrid doesn’t necessarily go well with the whistle master either.

True, a year and a half after the city rally Diego Simeone, coach of Atlético Madrid, came out against Gil Manzano.

Mbappé’s nose was broken, Gil Manzano could go home

Gil Manzano was a referee at two major tournaments. In 2021, he was given three matches as a European guest referee for the Copa América, but this year the European Championship ended for him after only one match. During the match between Austria and France – in which Kylian Mbappé’s nose was broken – the Spanish referee did not perform in such a way that he was given another task.

By the way, we don’t have bad memories of Gil Manzano: last year he led the European Championship qualifier between Montenegro and Hungary (0-0), and in 2021 he also awarded a penalty to Ferencváros when Fradi won 2-0 against Slavia Prague in the Champions League qualifier .
