The game saw more controversy, with Kylian Mbappe denied a penalty, leaving Real Madrid TV to once again take a swipe at La Liga’s referees and their bitter rivals Barcelona.
“Madrid has played badly but has also suffered the consequences of a shameful refereeing,” was the verdict on Real Madrid TV after the game. “We’re lucky to have many replays, and in every one you can see that the play is a clear penalty. A double penalty, even, because Victor Reis also tripped him with his leg.
“These are the consequences of Negreira. This is the Negreira League. ” The results means Real Madrid are now six points behind Barcelona in the table.
Victory for Hansi Flick’s side over Espanyol later today will see the Catalans extend that gap to nine points with just seven games left to play.
