The legendary defender of Barcelona, Gerard Pique, used Real Madrid because of “always” with the performance of referees as a “fog wall” to cover their defects.
The 15-fold winners of the Champions League wrote a complaint letter to the Spanish Football Association (RFEF) on Monday, in which he complained about the standard of the Office in La Liga after he was against Espanyol on the 1-0 defeat on Sunday against the decisions Alejandro Muniz Ruiz was outraged.
Carlo Ancelotti said that it was “inexplicable” that Carlos Romero was not shown a red card to break down Kylian Mbappe when the game was finely balanced at 0-0. The Espanyol defender would achieve the winner goal five minutes before the time.
“The events that occurred in this game have exceeded any border for human failure or referee interpretation,” said the club’s letter.
“What happened in the RCDE stadium represents the climax of a completely discredited referee system in which decisions against Real Madrid have achieved a measure of manipulation and falsification of the competition that can no longer be ignored.
“The two most serious referee decisions in this game have once again shown the double standards with which Real Madrid is achieved.
“The brutal challenge of Kylian Mbappe on the calf and without ways to contest the ball, which was carried out in the 60th minute of the Espanyol player, who later achieved the winning goal for his team from the world press Immediate expulsion ended with the decision of the referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz, only a yellow card without the VAR to show aggression, which would have been an exemplary sanction in another competition. “
Madrid’s complaints have attracted criticism from Pique, who during an illustrious 15-year appearance over a century when they lose.
“The statement is a complete fog wall because you have been doing it for 120 years and if you lose, you have to talk about something else, because that’s what you want,” said Pique.
“The referee’s conversation will always exist and that is what you have always done in Madrid and switch on the ‘machinery’ when things are not going well and we are used to it.”
The manager of Barcelona, Hansi Flick, also opened Madrid in his quarter -final media in front of the Copa del Rey and explained that the campaigns of defending champion La Liga Champions would never be repeated in Catalonia.
“This is your choice, you do it that way, it is not our way. I didn’t say any excuses and we will do it that way,” said the former Bayern Munich boss. “Every club has some reasons to say something. We are people, it is normal in life, everyone makes mistakes. The referees have hard jobs. We have to take care of them, it is not easy in this situation.
“When I arrived, I said no excuses, no complaints and no fault, I don’t like that.”
