Getafe coach Jose Bordalas shed light on an incident involving Mason Greenwood and referee Jorge Figueroa during their recent match against Rayo Vallecano at Civitas Metropolitano.
While on the field, Greenwood appeared to say something to the referee, resulting in his expulsion from the game. In a post-match conversation, Bordalas disclosed Greenwood’s words to the official as “don’t mess with me,” clarifying it as an expression of frustration rather than a direct insult.
Despite Getafe facing a 2-0 defeat against Rayo Vallecano, with Sergio Camello scoring both goals, the match witnessed Getafe’s team reduced to nine players. Juanmi Latasa received two yellow cards in the first half, followed by Greenwood’s straight red card in the 50th minute.
Bordalas emphasized that Greenwood’s remark was fueled by frustration and did not constitute a direct insult toward anyone. Greenwood, on a season-long loan from Manchester United to Getafe, appears to be enjoying his time in Spain.
Rumors suggest that Barcelona is considering a potential transfer for the 22-year-old forward, with scouts assessing his suitability for Barcelona’s style of play. Reports indicate that Barcelona is keen on acquiring Greenwood, seeing him as a valuable addition to their squad.
