Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe avoided commenting directly on the refereeing errors that occurred during his team’s 1-0 defeat to Espanyol on Saturday in La Liga.
It is assumed that Espanyol’s only goal scorer, Carlos Romero, deserved a red card after a very violent tackle on Mbappe before he scored his goal, in addition to another controversial disallowed goal for the royal club.
As he was leaving the Espanyol stadium, journalists gathered to ask Mbappe about his opinion on the expulsion ball in particular.
The French international’s reaction was to indicate that “his mouth is closed”, which translated into two things.

The first is that he means that he does not want to talk out of anger, otherwise he would have said things that could result in sanctions against him.
The other thing is that he does not want to enter the maze of refereeing injustice in front of the media, especially since Real Madrid, through its officials and official channel, are doing their duty to the fullest.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti came out after the match and expressed his great anger at referee Muniz, considering him the main reason for the Royal Club losing the three points.
