Getafe midfielder Juan Rodriguez admits stamping on Atletico Madrid's Mandzukic

Getafe midfielder Juan Rodriguez admits he stamped on Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic during yesterday's defeat.

Rodriguez trod on the Croat after he'd been shoved by Getafe defender Alexis.

He told AS: "Everybody saw it, I know. It wasn't a stamp to break his leg, everybody was hot under the collar.

"There was also a judo move in the area when they scored and nobody pulled them up for it. Atlético use these weapons a lot as well and nobody says anything.

"It's football, it's not a big deal."
