We often talk about refereeing errors padel…but this one sold us a dream. Apparently, the referee has not yet recovered from the separation of Juan lebron et Alejandro galan...
During the quarter-final between Nieto/Sanz and Lebron/Navarro, the referee's nostalgia took over. During an announcement, the latter names the two players who won the game... his language is a little forked and instead of naming Paquito and Lebron, he quotes Lebron and Galan.
It takes everyone a few seconds to realize. Juan LeBron is the first to stand up, followed by Paquito turning to show his name on his jersey before playing a short guitar piece. This scene provokes hilarity among the referee, who apologizes with a wave of his hand.
Like what, it is difficult to erase four years habit so easily. If the separation of Juan Lebron and Alejandro Galan is well established, the referees still have a little difficulty getting used to it.
