Real Madrid could lose their match against Getafe (0-3) and pay a 10000 fine due to improper alignment

Real Madrid is facing a very bizarre situation. The victory by against Getafe (1-0) had something far beyond Asensio’s solitary goal. Precisely the Spaniard would be the protagonist of the key moment of the night: a mess in the substitutions that could incur in an improper alignment for Ancelotti’s men.

Asensio initially left replaced by Odriozola, and in fact went out of bounds. However, Camavinga’s injury made Ancelotti go back, who opted to return the shot to the field so that it was the Frenchman who left for Odriozola.

Both the referee Martínez Munuera and the fourth referee authorized this last-minute replacement without realizing the event.

The International Board says the following regarding how substitutions should take place: “Substitutions will be effective when the substitute enters the field of play; from that moment, the player who retires becomes a substituted player, and the substitute becomes a player, so you can resume the game”.

In this way, Asensio was already a substituted player since he had left the field, and Camavinga, injured, should have stayed on the field or left, leaving Real Madrid with ten. That change was the fifth and final for Ancelotti, who had previously replaced Mendy, Hazard, Valverde and Ceballos.

The fact of the possible improper alignment would have occurred, then, at the moment in which Asensio was off the pitch and went back on a few moments later. Given this situation, for the improper alignment to be decreed, there should be a complaint from Getafe itself or from any other club before the RFEF Competition Committee before Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.

If they go ahead, Real Madrid would lose the game 0-3 with a financial fine of about 10,000 euros . They would be three key points for Getafe in their fight for relegation.
