In the ninth minute of injury time, with the score tied at 2-2, Valencia initially fended off a Real corner, but Brahim Diaz came back to cross from the right.
Gil Manzano wanted to blow the whistle shortly before the cross, but then hesitated and only blew the whistle when Diaz’s cross was already on its way into the penalty area. There she found Jude Bellingham, who headed in what was supposed to be the 3-2 winning goal for the Royals.
Since Gil Manzano whistled as the ball flew into the penalty area, Bellingham’s goal no longer counted.
The Real stars were correspondingly angry and attacked the referee. Tumults arose, which then led to arguments between the players of the two teams. Manzano also showed Bellingham a red card after he tackled him.
