Real Madrid Confidencial Real Madrid's Message About Antony Hours Before Betis Vs. Real Madrid: It's a D...
'The domestic competition is a nightmare,' is the message that can be felt in the locker room before facing the Verdiblancos.
La Liga Has Become a Nightmare for Real Madrid. The white team returns to domestic competition after weeks of refereeing controversies. The "Antony Case" Is the Latest Chapter in a Series of Decisions That Have Outraged the Club.
The Disciplinary Committee has withdrawn the red card that the Betis player received against Getafe. This Will Allow Him to Play Against Madrid This Saturday.
In the white club, there is no longer indignation, but resignation. "We Expected It, Zero Surprise," they say from the locker room.
The month has been an ordeal for Ancelotti's team. From fighting to get the League on track, they have found themselves caught in a whirlwind of questionable decisions. From the "No Red" to Carlos Romero to Bellingham's Expulsion, Madrid feels wronged.
Romero Case: The Beginning of the Anger
On February 1, Espanyol defeated Madrid with a goal by Carlos Romero. A match marked by the opponent's toughness and the referee's permissiveness.
Mbappé Suffered a Tackle That Seemed a Clear Red. It was not sanctioned. Additionally, Madrid Claimed Three Penalties and the Annulment of a Goal by Vinícius.
That night, the club exploded. They published an open letter denouncing the refereeing. "It Is the Culmination of a Discredited Refereeing System," said the statement.
The Federation replied by sanctioning the involved referees. But the damage was already done.
The classic Fuels the Controversy
Real Madrid arrived at the classic against Atlético with maximum tension. The pressure on the referees was evident. Even so, a new controversial decision outraged the whites: A Penalty in Favor of Atlético for a Foul by Tchouaméni on Lino.
The match ended in a draw. Madrid added another stumble and the feeling of being a victim of decisions against them.
Red Card to Bellingham and Penalty in Pamplona
The next episode was experienced against Osasuna. Bellingham Was Sent Off for Protesting. Munuera Montero also Called a Dubious Penalty by Camavinga on Budimir.
Madrid claimed another handball inside the opponent's area that was not reviewed.
Ancelotti-Tebas War and "Antony Case"
The tension continued to grow. Madrid appealed Bellingham's sanction, but it did not succeed. Meanwhile, Ancelotti and Tebas exchanged statements about the refereeing.
The latest blow has been the decision to forgive Antony's red card. Real Madrid will travel without Bellingham, who will serve his punishment.
"Another One," they repeat in the club. La Liga remains a nightmare for the whites.
