Alejandro Balde remembers Real Madrid after winning the VAR League: 'They said that...'

Real Madrid fulfilled their duty against Real Mallorca at Santiago Bernabéu. Carlo Ancelotti's players won by the minimum, thanks to Jacobo Ramón's in extremis goal, to keep the dream alive for at least an entire day. Everything depended on the match between Espanyol and FC Barcelona.

But the victory of Hansi Flick's players at RCDE Stadium makes any speculation about a hypothetical merengue victory impossible: there are not enough points to make that change a reality. That's why FC Barcelona is the mathematical champion of a League they are celebrating in style.

One of the most outstanding players of the first team culé, through social media, sent a very direct mockery to Real Madrid with a live comment. Alejandro Balde, in a live broadcast on Instagram, mocked because many Madridists "said that in December they would have a 15-point lead" over FC Barcelona itself. The competitive reality of that moment in the League made it believable, as the blaugrana club was going through a terrible streak of results.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid chained many victories, necessary to keep their chances in competitions like the League itself or the Champions League, and acquired an advantage that seemed insurmountable. But that 'cushion' of points for the white club dwindled as the matchdays passed until conceding the seven-point disadvantage that ended up certifying the culé victory.

Many and unforgettable controversies

In any case, it has been a League full of controversy. Not surprisingly, the referees' decisions in Real Madrid's matches, as well as the actions that would have gone uncalled and unseen from the VAR, are surprising. One of the most notorious is the kick that Carlos Romero gave to Kylian Mbappé, precisely at RCDE Stadium.

That brutal tackle was sanctioned by Muñiz Ruiz with just a yellow card, a decision as inexplicable as it is controversial. The CTA sent him 'to the fridge' for two matchdays after that ruling, making it clear that Muñiz Ruiz himself had clearly made a mistake in his handling of the play.

That tackle by Carlos Romero on Kylian Mbappé is one of the most notable controversies, but not the only one that the white club would have registered this league season. Other matches that caused a stir were the clash against Rayo Vallecano at Estadio de Vallecas or the match against Osasuna at El Sadar.

In any case, FC Barcelona's footballers are now taking the opportunity to mock Real Madrid at a delicate sporting moment for the merengue sports discipline. From the offices of Valdebebas, they hope to reverse that series of negative circumstances, suffered this season, so that Xabi Alonso can once again set the winning path for Santiago Bernabéu locker room.
