Real Madrid Confidencial Mikel Oyarzabal Criticizes European Referees and Points to Real Madrid: 'I Don't Know...'
Incomprehensible Attack by Real Sociedad's Captain on the Madrid Team
This week we have seen how refereeing in Europe has come under the spotlight again due to controversies. Atlético has done so because of Julián Álvarez's penalty, which was rightly annulled as could be seen. But in the case of Real Sociedad, they complain about several decisive actions.
Mikel Oyarzabal spoke about this, facing the media after being eliminated by Manchester United. The most surprising thing is that in his statements, he directly pointed to Real Madrid. Something incomprehensible if we consider that they are not even in the same competition.
It was in statements on the Partidazo de Cope where he narrated an incident that happened to him. "There was an elbow to Igor, which left him bleeding, I went to the line and asked if it was a yellow card," he began by saying. The response is striking: "He tells me to turn around, to look the other way, that we're here to play."
"I asked him for respect, to see if I couldn't talk to him, and he says no," protested the Real captain. Complaining that they say they are the ones who have to talk to the referees. But on this occasion, "I don't know what it's for, they go too far in trying to seem authoritative."
They Try to Force Real Madrid Into the Controversy
The interview was being conducted by Juanma Castaño, and he seemed eager to bring Real Madrid into it. He wondered if he imagined that "it happens to Madrid or Barça" what had happened to them. He was giving Mikel Oyarzabal the opportunity to rant, especially about the Merengues.
"I don't know if it would happen to them, to be honest, and if it did, the echo would be much greater," he protested. "For us, it's easier to call this on us than what they've called," the Basque footballer concluded. Striking statements considering what's coming up.
It should be remembered that in a few days, the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid will be played. They are already trying to heat up the atmosphere against the Merengues. All this because of something that happened in the Europa League, where the Whites don't play.
