Whether on the pitch, but also off it, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona do not hesitate to go to war with each other. On Saturday evening, Real Madrid, at the end of their victory against Almería (3-2), was attacked and the Almeria coach, expelled during the match, did not hesitate to say that it was an arbitration scandal. “It’s not the first time this has happened to me here (at the Bernabeu), I don’t have words to summarize what just happened today. Anyway, you all saw”he reacted.
Indeed, three decisions favorable to Real Madrid after excessive use of VAR caused teeth in Spain to cringe. And obviously, the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, took advantage of it. Present during a ceremony organized by the Catalan newspaper Mundo DeportivoLaporta did not hesitate to attack Real Madrid over the refereeing controversy. “What happened at the Bernabéu is a shame!”he first blurted out.
Joan Laporta assures that there is pressure on referees
Before assuring that the RFEF referees were victims of pressure. “I think that the refereeing collective must respond to a series of pressures that have arisen throughout the season with the referees. The refereeing collective must give answers to the pressures they receive this season, if they do not do so, resignations are necessary.he then added, before returning to the current state of FC Barcelona.
And there too, Laporta gave another layer on the arbitration. “In any case, I’m happy because we won yesterday (Against Real Betis). We feel stronger and more united, but what we want is for there to be sporting rewards, and there are days where we could have taken points, because of a better refereeing decision or due to a VAR re-arbitration, but this did not happen”. It remains to be seen how Real Madrid will react, especially after this criticism from its eternal rival.
