Madrid has been bad since this weekend. On the move on the Espanyol lawn, the Merengues had the opportunity to confirm their domination over the Liga with a success in the face of a very affordable a priori rival. But in Catalan lands, Carlo Ancelotti's troops were cold picked up, losing the scoring of 1-0, allowing Atlético de Madrid to return to a small point in the Liga classification.
But after this match, we don't even really talk about the result or the performances of each player, or even the choices of Carlo Ancelotti. It is only a question of this tackle of Carlos Romero – also a scorer later – on Kylian Mbappé, who, according to the Madrid at least, deserved a red card. “The decision is inexplicable. It was a very ugly tackle. We find it inexplicable that he did not receive a red card. The decision of the arbitrator makes no sense. It was so obvious. The most important thing is to watch over the integrity of the player and to protect it. That's why the Var was invented ”confided in particular the Italian coach.
Real Madrid is positioned as a victim
And the rage of Real Madrid is such that the club has just published an incendiary letter towards the Spanish Federation, in order to complain about this action but also of a goal refused to Vinicius Jr, and the arbitration of which it is Victim in general: “The facts that have happened in this match have surpassed any margin of human error or arbitration interpretation. It is the peak of a completely discredited arbitral system, in which decisions against Real Madrid have reached a level of manipulation and falsification of competition which can no longer be ignored. The two most serious arbitration decisions of this match highlighted, once again, the way in which Real Madrid is refereed “.
“In view of the severity of the situation, Real Madrid demands that the federation immediately give it the Audios of the Var of these two actions. (…) What happened at the RCDE Stadium is neither an isolated case nor a simple arbitration error. (…) The scandal following this last match, which crossed our borders, is not an isolated fact or a minor affair, but the unequivocal confirmation that the competition is marred by arbitral decisions which are impossible to justify ”can be read there. The message has passed.
