Last month, Real Madrid were left outraged at the decision not to send off Espanyol’s Carlos Romero during their La Liga clash at the RCDE Stadium, which Los Pericos won 1-0 after a late goal from the defender.
There was extreme fury from Real Madrid on the back of this incident, which saw Romero receive a yellow card from on-field referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz for a high challenge on Mbappe – the incident was reviewed by VAR, but it was deemed that there was no clear and obvious error made.
This led Real Madrid to pen a strongly-worded letter to the Spanish Football Federation, in which they hit out at the refereeing collective in La Liga. All of the attention on the incident also led to Romero and his partner receiving abuse on social media, which he opened up about during a press conference on Thursday, as per Relevo.
“As soon as I entered the dressing room, I took my mobile phone and had to deactivate social networks. Both me and my partner isolated ourselves. Everything we read and the comments were incredible. Certain media were unfair. I was accused of going to hurt and that is big words. I don’t think anyone has that intention. It was a fortuitous move, Kylian didn’t say anything to me or take it to any extreme like other people who were interested in doing it at that time.”
It was the first time that Romero has spoken to the media since the incident, with Espanyol having chosen to protect their player after the incident.
Romero, who is on loan at Espanyol for the season from fellow La Liga side Villarreal, has impressed with his performances at left-back over recent months, and there is a considerable chance that he ends up staying in Catalonia beyond the summer, should the two clubs look to reach an agreement.

So how can u kick someone in their calf in any circumstances and claim you don't want him injured. Utterly nonsense. If u chose to protect your team by any means that simple means that you don't care about your opponent so if he dies after the tackle u feel proud because u saved your team. But if you're on the receiving end of such tackle you would say it's wreckless play.
haha Wau what a way to assume things..so to be exact u r not proud of any of ur squad right??

as if pedri, rapha, yamal are not being victims..they are one of the most fouled players in laliga.
Foul is part of the game but wreckless play shouldn't be accepted whether it's your team or rival.

You knew what you were doing. Don't play victim here. If Mbappe had to come off immediately there's no doubt it would've been a red card. Regardless people shouldn't threaten players or their relatives.

Anyhow it was Pedri, Yamal, Raphina etc. You wouldn't say this. The problem is nobody cares until it's their turn. Kicking a player running at full speed on the calf with studs exposed is called doing his job and isn't trying to injure a player? How brainless you must be!!!

and I was waiting for this reply so I could say same about ramos,pepe,Marcello,casemiro..or did u forget ?? and as a football player myself I would do the same to stop my opponent from scoring but only with the intention to protect my team rather than injuring opponents.. I repeat no player wants see their opponent injured.

he knew his job and did what he needed to but no body actually wants to injured opponents.

Fans are idiots. If anything their threat should go to the referee. But they are dumb anyway.

When you are the last man and foul from behind, it is a clear goal obstruction and automatic red especially when tackling from behind.
Yeah, like when Konate should have get a red card against PSG.

You had that interest and intention that's the reason you raised your leg to execute it. Problem footballers do have the decency to admit their flaws.
