"Endrick should’ve been sent off, it was a clear red"

Real Madrid claimed their 5th win in a row against Alaves, but tempers flared at the end of the 90 minutes. Alaves coach Luis Garcia Plaza appeared in the press room and gave his first impressions of the game.

Undoubtedly, one of the most controversial was Endrick's action with Mourino, for which the ‘Babazorro’ coach had no doubts: "No one can say that it wasn’t a red on Endrick. We should have played the last 10 minutes against 10. Maybe we didn't win and we didn't come back, but we should have played the last 10 minutes against 10. It's red, it's the intention to kick".

On his incident with Ancelotti at the end of the game: "There was no discussion whatsoever. Carlo is fantastic. He said that he shouldn't have been shown a yellow card and I told him that the red card was clear. Maybe one of the yellow cards for Madrid was excessive, but the red card is not up for discussion".

However, Luis Garcia was also full of praise for Madrid: "The difference between the two teams is huge, but we competed. We could have taken a point, but they could have beaten us by more. But it's not easy.
