Real Madrid’s next match will be against Real Betis at Benito Villamarín. Although the match was expected to have no surprises, everything changed with Antony’s case. The player, who received a red card in his last match, will be able to play this match because Betis managed to have it annulled.
A case that has sparked much discussion and provoked an unexpected opinion from Toni Freixa. “The resolution, I don’t see that as the argument to annul a red card but rather a series of considerations that…are dangerous as a precedent.” Through these words, Freixa expressed his surprise at Antony’s annulled red card.

“The arguments to annul Antony’s red card are dangerous considerations for the future,” he concluded during the recent broadcast of El Chiringuito. This demonstrates that the decision made regarding Antony’s case is, at the very least, something that needs to be analyzed.
Freixa’s Reaction
Having an evident resurgence in his career, Antony has become one of Real Betis’s best players. However, despite improving his level, this doesn’t justify the decision made regarding his red card. Having committed a foul that was penalized by the referee, it is inexplicable that the player doesn’t serve a suspension.
Toni Freixa’s words perfectly reflect the surprise felt by thousands of people following the situation with the Brazilian. In an unprecedented case, Freixa acknowledged that freeing a player in this manner from his suspension could lead to serious problems.

The reason is that, starting from the next matches, several clubs could try to evade a suspension by relying on Antony’s case. This incident has also caused much annoyance in teams that, just this season, have had to comply with suspensions.
A Situation That can’t Remain As Is
With little time left before the match against Real Betis, Real Madrid will also have to prepare for Antony. Although the Brazilian’s presence will not affect the result the Merengue team hopes to achieve, his case with the red card can’t go unpunished.
