As per Diario AS, Gil Manzano could be set for a spell away from the pitch after his controversial officiating in the draw against Valencia.
The 40-year-old essentially cost Real Madrid what could prove to be a pivotal pair of points in the race for the La Liga title.
A split second before Jude Bellingham nodded home what looked set to mark the most last-gasp of winners deep into injury-time against Valencia, Manzano blew his whistle for full-time.
The move sparked nothing short of chaotic post-match scenes at the Mestalla, as Real’s players and staff alike made their frustrations well known.
Citing a similar mistake committed by referee Ortiz Arias last season, the report adds that Manzano may be kept away from the spotlight to avoid exposing him.
