Real Madrid's Locker Room, Devastated Hours Before the Match of the Year: 'we've Lost...'

In the Real Madrid locker room, there is no more indignation per square meter. "This can't go on like this, we don't play or train for this," they comment at the club, according to information from "El Debate".

The team leaders believe they have lost seven points in three matches due to refereeing decisions. In fact, there are people at Real Madrid who think some decisions might have been premeditated after the statement was issued. "We were leaders with a good advantage, and they took it away from us in three matches."

Real Madrid Can't Help but Think the Worst

It is clear that, throughout a tournament like LaLiga, you might be called out for an action that doesn't correspond due to an error. However, all the decisions in Real Madrid's recent matches always fall on the same side.

To top off the suspicion, they observe that the VAR only works on plays in Real Madrid's area and never in the opponents' areas. All plays against the Madrid team are scrutinized. However, controversial actions—such as the penalty on Vinícius at El Sadar—automatically go to limbo.

There Is Clear Indignation in the White Locker Room

From "El Debate", they mention verbatim the complaints from within the Real Madrid locker room. "In Barcelona, there were two uncalled penalties and a legal goal by Kylian was disallowed, in addition to not expelling a rival who later scored the decisive goal. They punished the referees, but the points are not returned," they comment.

"Against Atlético, they called a penalty that wasn't. And now, in Pamplona, there was a penalty on Vinícius and another on Bellingham not called, aside from two controversial handballs. The referee wasn't even called by the VAR to see it," they explain from the locker room.

"But the VAR did call him to award a penalty in favor of Osasuna, which was like the one against Atlético, nonexistent. And on top of that, they sent off Bellingham because they don't understand English well," they conclude. The final result is seven points lost in the last three matches and a leadership that could be lost this very matchday.

At Real Madrid, they want to turn the page as soon as possible, as the match against Manchester City is of great importance. However, next weekend LaLiga will return, and all eyes will be on the referee of the Madrid team's match.
