Tomás Roncero's Surprising Prediction About Laliga: 'a League of H...'

The journalist points out what might happen and issues a warning to Madridism

This last matchday we experienced several refereeing scandals that have allowed Barça to become the leader. On Saturday at Sadar, they didn't call several penalties in favor of Real Madrid, but they did call one in favor of Osasuna. Additionally, Bellingham was sent off with a controversial direct red card.

But on Monday, Barça saw how grabs inside the area were called in their favor and not against them. They won 1-0 against Rayo thanks to refereeing decisions that always went their way. This has angered Madrid fans who see a completely biased and unjustifiable double standard.

One of the most upset was the journalist Tomás Roncero on Cadena Ser. "VAR is a corrective factor because in 3 matchdays it has erased the 7-point disadvantage," he pointed out. The controversies have propelled Barcelona to the top.

Meanwhile, Roncero added that VAR "has done it at a speed I didn't expect," as we say in 3 matchdays. "I thought they would do it in 8 matchdays to be discreet," he reflected. It has been very striking what has happened and especially who has been the great beneficiary.

Tomás Roncero Issues a Warning for This League and Points to All Madrid Fans

Tomás Roncero continued talking about how complicated this League is going to be due to the refereeing they suffer. What happened in Cornellà, in the Derby, and at Sadar are good examples of this. But he wanted to issue a warning about what might happen, and he points directly to all Madrid fans.

He said that "I'll make sure if we win this League, there will be more people at Cibeles than if we win the Champions League." Roncero concluded by stating that "it will be a league of heroes" if they win it. And he justifies it by saying "they are determined that we don't win it, so we are going to win it."

To the point that he considers this year "the big thing is to win this League because it's impossible." Above anything else because "the Champions League is going to be like the Bernabéu trophy." At least due to the level of difficulty the referees have put on the merengue title.
