Ruy Lopez trap

I see many problems with your post.
1. That wasn't the Ruy Lopez
2. That wasn't a trap
3. You are an engine user
I agree with #2 based on low centipawn loss and the low probability coming up with zero innacuracies, zero mistakes and zero blunders considering your modest rating. Yeah it's possible you played this game without engine assistance but IMO unlikely.
I don't agree that he is an engine user. Any 1700~1800 player will be able to think Bxf7 move in rapid time control. From there, all other moves are obvious.
This sort of idea appears in the Ruy Lopez which he may be thinking of when he said it was a Lopez
1. e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 b5 5.Bb3 Na5 6. Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Nxe5+
There is also the Cochrane Gambit in the Petrov
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nxf7 Kxf7
There are many games where an early Na5 has been met by Bxf7, even top level players can fall into it
