‘Japan Ace’ Gubo sparks fight in interview…”Why did you cancel this goal? If it was UCL, it wouldn’t have been a foul”
Takefusa Kubo complained of unfairness when the score was canceled.
Spanish media “Marca” reported on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) that “Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Gubo expressed dissatisfaction with the referee’s decision after losing 0-1 to Real Madrid.”
Real Sociedad lost 0-1 to Real Madrid in the 33rd round of La Liga in the 2023/24 season at Real Arena in San Sebastian, Spain, on the 27th (Korea time). Kubo scored the equalizer in the match, but it was canceled.
The case runs until the 32nd minute of the first half. Real Sociedad took the opportunity with Real leading 1-0. In Real Madrid’s camp, Choameni was warming up when Barrenechea pushed him from behind and tripped him.
Oyarzabal caught the ball and tried to shoot, but it was blocked by Real’s defense. Kubo scored an equalizer over the player after catching the second ball, but the VAR review found that Barrenechea committed a foul when he took the ball from Choameni, and the goal was canceled.
In an interview after the game, Kubo expressed dissatisfaction with the decision and insisted that it was not a foul. “All I can say is that Barrenecia tried to steal the ball and the player who lost the ball fell down as if he were asleep,” he said. “I don’t know what would have happened if it was a Champions League game, but I don’t think there will be a foul in the Champions League.”
He continued, “In addition to the goal I scored, we had two or three more chances. Real Madrid was lucky. We were the best team for 90 minutes. Anyone who watched the game would think that we were the team that deserved to win. “It was a sad game for the fans because of the change in game time and other events like this,” he added.
After watching the interview, Chua Meni gave a witty response by sending an eyebrow-raising emoji. Meanwhile, the two teams had mixed feelings in this match. Real’s victory will widen the gap with second-place Girona by 13 points, and if they win their next match, they will win the league title.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, lost the match and is seven points behind the fifth-place Athletic Club. Real Betis, who is seventh, is two points behind, so Real Sociedad must record its best performance in the remaining five games to advance to next season’s European competition.
