[Saba Sports News] During Rayo Vallecano’s 0-1 loss to Sevilla, Rayo Vallecano forward Sergio Carmelo was sent off with a red card in the final stages of the match for insulting referee Jesus Gil Manzano. According to Manzano’s post-match report, Carmelo told him, “You are a bully.” Recently, Carmelo posted an apology on social media, stating: “I am disappointed in myself and want to ask for forgiveness because after the passion fades, guilt follows. Letting down my teammates and fans pains me deeply. This week hasn’t been easy for me, and I probably didn’t handle my frustration properly. I believe I can learn from my mistakes. See you all at home on Thursday. Come on, Rayo Vallecano!” Currently, Carmelo will definitely miss Rayo Vallecano’s upcoming away match against Real Sociedad. If the competition committee categorizes his behavior as disrespect towards the referee, Carmelo is likely to face an additional suspension of 2 to 4 matches. Regarding this, how do Rayo Vallecano fans view this incident?
