In the 29th round of La Liga, Aubameyang contributed 2 shots and 1 pass to help Barca beat Real Madrid 4-0 away from home and end the 5-game losing streak of the national derby. For Real Madrid, it was their biggest defeat against Barca at the Bernabeu in nearly 6 years. After the game, journalist Edu Aguirre thought Aubameyang should be sent off in the 12th minute.
Journalist Edu Aguirre wrote on social media: "In the 12th minute, what was VAR doing? (Aubameyang) didn't even have a yellow card? They are insulting the sport of football. ”
The game actually lasted less than 11 minutes, and Aubameyang was stopped because he received the ball once, which led to a half-goal with Kroos. As a result, Kroos took the lead in poking the ball away, and Aubameyang's belated interception stepped on the sole of his shoe directly on Kroos's calf. The referee had already whistled the first time to signal a foul, but because Kroos and Aubameyang were both facing away from him, they did not see whether Aubameyang showed the sole of his shoe or stepped on which part of Cross.
Aubameyang's foul move is actually quite risky, if you encounter a strict referee, really have to give a red card is actually powerless to refute, because you are a bright sole and stepped on the opponent's calf steadily. Of course, the referee did not play a card to warn Aubameyang at the first time, and VAR did not intervene because he thought that he did not reach the level of foul of the red card, so he could only maintain the foul but no card. In the eyes of journalist Edu Aguirre, Aubameyang's fouls are at least yellow cards, even red cards.
After escaping the damage against Kroos' bright sole, Aubameyang scored a goal while completing the double behind him and assisting Ferran Torres. It is not an exaggeration to say that Aubameyang dominated the national derby.
There are no ifs in this world, and it cannot be said that if Aubameyang was sent off in 12 minutes, the outcome of the game would be. As Ancelotti said, although the national derby loss of 0-4 is very hurtful, they have to get out of the loss as soon as possible, in fact, they still have a 9-point lead, and they don't have to be so pessimistic.
