Before facing Atlético de Madrid for a fourth Madrid derby of the season, Real Madrid is under fire for alleged influence on La Liga referees. Barça, through the voice of Xavi and Joan Laporta, violently charged Real Madrid and the clips regularly broadcast by the channel Real Madrid TV to criticize arbitration decisions.

“I’m surprised that this kind of thing is allowed. This completely distorts the competition., explained the Catalan coach. Faced with these accusations, Carlo Ancelotti was keen to respond to the attacks of his eternal rival and did not fail to tackle his opposing counterpart. “I don’t even want to go down to that level out of respect for Spanish football. This is not worthy of a professional level. Attacks on the club? I don’t go down to that level.”, he said to the press. The message got through.
