‘He was hanging out with Barcelona players!’ – Real Madrid TV launch extraordinary attack on referee after ‘sickening’ display in Atletico derby defeat
Focusing on the unpunished challenges by Romero and Lee, Real Madrid TV suggested the outcome was heavily manipulated. “We don’t know what would have happened if Atletico had been reduced to nine players. I’m sure many Madrid fans are eager to get up and walk away from this competition,” they stated, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo. “It makes you want to get up and walk away. Now they’ve tightened the screws a little more. Before, they tried to cover it up; now they don’t.”
The channel then launched a personal attack on the match official, referencing a recent fixture. “[Miguel Angel] Ortiz Arias was hanging out with Barcelona players a few weeks ago, and now this,” they added. “It’s all sickening. They don’t care if the sh*t spills over into [Javier] Tebas’s La Liga. What’s happened this season has already pushed everyone over the edge.”
Claiming a blatant bias against the club, the network continued: “All that’s missing is a directive allowing Madrid’s rivals to take the field armed with revolvers. When Lee Kang-in tackled Fede, and he stood up to protest, the referee addressed Valverde with a cocky, thuggish attitude.”
