Real Madrid edged their way to a fifth successive victory on Tuesday, as they saw off a brave fightback from Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu. The visitors scored twice late on to make things interesting, and it could have been even more nervy had Endrick Felipe been shown a red card just before the goals.

In the 83rd minute, Endrick was shown a yellow card by referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz after appearing to kick out at Alaves’ Santiago Mourino. The visitors are adamant that it should have been red, but only a caution was given.

Alaves head coach Luis Garcia Plaza spoke on the incident post-match, and he admitted to being in disbelief that a red card was not shown.

“Endrick should’ve been sent off, it was a clear red card. No one can say that it wasn’t a red for Endrick. He should’ve been sent off. We should’ve played the last 10 minutes against 10 men.”

Endrick was certainly somewhat lucky that the matter was not referred to by VAR. Alaves will fume about it, but Real Madrid won’t mind much as they came away with the three points, even though it was more complicated than it should have been.


Raul linked with RM exit as former club consider approach for manager’s position


Raul Gonzalez has been in charge of Real Madrid Castilla for over five years, and during this period, he has been regularly linked with other jobs. He has continued to stay loyal to the club of his life, although there could soon be another opportunity for him to be tempted away from the Spanish capital.

As per Relevo, Raul is being considered by Schalke 04 as a candidate to be their new manager. The German giants are third-from-bottom in the 2. Bundesliga after a woeful start to the season, and Karel Geraerts lost his job as head coach as a result – his replacement is being sought, and Raul is up there.

Raul is no stranger to Schalke, as he played there for two seasons after leaving Real Madrid. In terms of clubs that are capable of tempting him away from Castilla, they are sure to be right up there, given the sentimentality of the situation.
