Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, expressed frustration and disappointment after the team’s 2-1 defeat, suggesting that the match may have been affected by refereeing decisions. The focus of concern was a potential penalty that the referee failed to call, a moment that Ancelotti deemed clear and indisputable.
In the aftermath of the loss, Real Madrid now finds themselves trailing Barcelona by six points in the standings. Ancelotti did not mince his words, stating, “It seems very clear to me, everyone saw it but the referee didn’t whistle it.” The coach’s dissatisfaction was echoed by player Sergio Ramos, who pointed out that the referee overlooked two penalty incidents, emphasizing the impact of such decisions on the game.
Ancelotti went on to express his frustration with the consistent narrative, stating, “Here it’s always the same story. Watch the match, look at the penalties, the throw-ins, the fouls, the cards… I’m not going to say that we lost because of the referee, but I think everyone saw what happened.” The comments reflect the frustration and perception of injustice within the Real Madrid camp regarding the officiating during the match.
