The draw conceded by Real Madrid on the Girona pitch (1-1) on Sunday went poorly on the Madrid club’s channel.
New disillusionment for Real Madrid. Traveling to Girona, the Madrid club had to settle for a draw (1-1), the third in a row after those conceded on the lawns of Rayo Vallecano (0-0) and Elche (2-2). A dark series which has cost Xabi Alonso’s men the lead in La Liga, now one point behind FC Barcelona.
The Madrilenians looked gloomy at the end of the meeting. “During a season, there are different phases. There were times, especially early on, where we were consistent. And lately there are more complicated phases,” whispered Xabi Alonso in a press conference after the match.
The Madrid coach, however, had nothing to reproach his players. “I liked their reaction. It wasn’t enough, but we were close to the goal. We must continue with the unity we have, with sufficient self-criticism, which is necessary, he added. With the desire to win away, which has affected us a lot in this calendar. »
“La Liga is corrupt”
Apart from Kylian Mbappé, particularly active on the attacking front, and Thibaut Courtois, the Madrilenians did not shine in Girona. However, Real TV, the club’s channel, had another culprit in mind. The commentators in fact attacked Ricardo de Burgos Bengoechea, the referee of the match.
“De Burgos made gross and unjustifiable mistakes against Real Madrid. He is the one who harmed them the most,” could we hear, according to the revelations of the
Sports world. Two sequences may have provoked the anger of the Madrid camp. Shortly before the break, Real Madrid was denied a goal scored by Kylian Mbappé. But VAR pushed the referee to cancel the goal. And ten minutes from the end of the match, the Madrilenians claimed a penalty after contact with Rodrygo.
“La Liga is corrupt, denounced Real Madrid TV. De Burgos is one of the referees who does the most harm to Real Madrid. There is an irregularity because the VAR team does not call the referee. It happened in Vallecas and Girona. And that was already the case last year, when Real Madrid were six points ahead of Barcelona. And it starts again this year. »
“No matter how Real Madrid perform, the reality is that the referees put them at a disadvantage, those who have to make the decisions are absent, and their president justifies them, added the channel. And who is the vice-president of the Federation? Javier Tebas »
