CTA admits error in Atlético Madrid's Lee Kang-in red card situation

The Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) acknowledged a significant mistake in officiating from the recent Madrid Derby between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. Atlético's Lee Kang-in, who was involved in a dangerous challenge on Federico Valverde, should have received a direct red card, according to the CTA's statement confirming the error. The incident did not lead to any card during the match and was also overlooked by VAR officials. This admission highlights ongoing concerns about officiating standards in LaLiga. The CTA labeled the referee's decision a 'clear and manifest error' that warranted VAR intervention.
