Real Madrid is angry after referee decisions in Seville: Scandal

Real Madrid, who drew 1-1 against Sevilla, returned to the capital very angry at the refereeing of De Burgos Bengoetxea.

The controversial decisions of the Basque referee provoked the anger of the Madrid team, who began to express their deep displeasure almost privately in the locker room.

Real Madrid TV even said that there was a “sociological scandal” in Seville, in reference to the statements of Barcelona president Joan Laporta last Thursday: “There is a very strong sociological Madridismo, we fought against it and we won.”

This footage, which appeared at the end of the Sevilla match, was published by RMTV and was used to attack referee De Burgos Bengoetxea. He shows that Valverde’s disallowed goal could have stood because Bellingham was lined up with Ramos.

“IF I TALK I WILL BE PUNISHED”

After the match, Carlo Ancelotti preferred to bite his tongue. The most he could console himself was to say: “If I say what I think, I will be punished very severely.”

Although the Italian coach avoided discussions so as not to be harmed, Real Madrid television once again harshly criticized De Burgos Bengoetxea.

Last Thursday, the Madrid club’s television station broadcast a three-minute video in which numerous errors made by the Basque referee against Real Madrid were recorded, while after the Sevilla match, the Madrid station’s analysts blamed the Bilbao referee.

From Burgos Bengoetxea interrupted the Madrid counterattack that ended in a goal… he intervened against Ocampos although he had not called a foul.

Jesús Alcaide summarized the Basque referee’s performance with these words: “What happened to De Burgos Bengoetxea today is a sociological scandal.”

The Real Madrid TV reporter also ironically described the refereeing performance of Ancelotti’s team in Nervión: “The MVP of the match is De Burgos Bengoetxea. He did his job perfectly. I am sure that Medina Cantalejo and Clos Gómez will congratulate him.”

TONI KROOS: IF YOU CAN’T WIN, DON’T LOSE

The Real Madrid players did not want to risk a sanction that would make them miss next Saturday’s Clásico and refused to comment on the referee.

However, Toni Kroos adopted an ambiguous position on social networks: “If you can’t win, don’t lose.” This may be a veiled reference to the influence of De Burgos Bengoetxea on the result.

REAL MADRID IN REBELLION

In any case, Sevilla is not an isolated event for Madrid. The capital team is aware that it is the team that has had the most goals disallowed with 26 goals since the VAR came into play.

Sevilla is second with 15 goals, almost half. The club has been betting on video refereeing for some time. Precisely in a match against Sevilla in 2021, a very controversial decision by the VAR regarding the decision by Militao changed La Liga. Madrid expressed its discomfort after defeating Getafe 2-1 on matchday 4 of La Liga.
