On Real Madrid TV's pre-match show before Real Madrid versus Villarreal, hosts discussed Alavés player Ángel Pérez's red card for a foul on Álvarez, comparing it to a similar challenge by Atlético Madrid's Cristian Romero on Jude Bellingham in a previous Madrid derby. The hosts questioned the inconsistency in refereeing standards.

Real Madrid TV stated: "We're still at the Bernabéu, and it's now 7:55 p.m. Since we started the show, we've been saying we're back in this 'Negreira Cup' again, seeing these dirty decisions, and today it proves it once more. The Real Madrid versus Villarreal match hasn't even started."

"We're talking about what happened in the Alavés versus Atlético Madrid match. Atlético Madrid's last match before the break was at the Metropolitano. Everyone remembers those aggressive fouls: Lee Kang-in on Valverde, and Cuti Romero on Bellingham. Romero even scored in today's match."

"Look at what happened in the 58th minute of today's Alavés versus Atlético Madrid match at Mendizorroza. This challenge by an Alavés player on Julián Álvarez is almost identical to Cuti Romero's challenge on Jude Bellingham."

"What's the big difference between what happened today and what didn't happen nearly three weeks ago at the Metropolitano?"

"Today, referee Quintero González, who you see on screen, initially issued a yellow card to Alavés's Ángel Pérez on the pitch. He said, 'That's excessive, yellow card.' What happened with VAR? The VAR referee was Pulido Santana. Pulido Santana contacted the main referee and did his job. He did his job."

"That is, he told the main referee: 'Look at this challenge again. The Alavés player's action may have been excessive. He came in late, just like Cuti Romero's challenge on Bellingham.'"

"Then this player came... sorry, we're talking about referee Quintero González, the main referee of the Alavés versus Atlético Madrid match. Pulido Santana prompted him, and he went to review the slow-motion replay. He actually corrected his decision and reversed it. Look. He issued a red card to Ángel Pérez. His teammates even told him: 'Don't complain anymore, don't complain anymore, because your action really was excessive.'"

"Nearly three weeks ago, at the Metropolitano, Cuti Romero made a similar challenge on Bellingham. What's the difference? Cuti Romero was not sent off then. That's why he could play today and score the decisive goal for Atlético Madrid. That's the difference in how referees handle Atlético Madrid's matches compared to Real Madrid's."
